Glass cutting boards are evil. Unless someone in your house has expensive knives and you want to spite them or something.

Glass or Stone make a great food prep surface, but don't for the love of God over let the edge of a knife touch them.
Letting a nice, sharp knife with a finely hones edge hit a glass or stone cutting board is like dragging it across gravel. It puts dings and flat spots in the blade edge, turns a finely honed edge over to one side, and dulls the knife. It can also damage the points on the serrations on serrated blades, making them very difficult to repair or resharpen properly.

you knives can touch plastic cutting boards, or a good wooden one, and not take extra damage. Worried about food safetly? get an oak cutting board, natural acid based antibacterial properties FTW

yeah, i have a big ass stone cutting board, but the only thing i use it for is a food prep surface. NEVER cut something on stone or glass.

I prefer bamboo myself.

Bamboo makes a wonderful board, and lasts a long time. I like the classics though, oak butcher blocks are just more old school/traditional looking to me than a synthetic or plastic board, or modern styled bamboo surfaces. Its sorta like the hardwood vs laminate vs bamboo flooring debate, they all rule, to each their own taste.

Glass and plastic aren't porous, so I would definitely prefer it over any kind of wood.

Wood is not porous, however multiple studies shoe that wood is safer bacteria transfer wise than plastic as a board material. Thus why the FDA and health inspectors guidelines still allow wooden food prep surfaces in comercial kitchens.

I will note that the only cutting boards I see at the meat packing plants I go into for work are rubber ones that are dunked and soaked in cleaner when not in use, and replaced as soon as they get any ragged spots. However, that is something set up for a 3 shift a day production line environment.

These make good surface protecters for your kicthen counter. I have 2 of these...i never use them as cutting boards though, they just stay out on either side of the sink.
