I went for tank style plastic cages and also have a glass tank too. Love the glass tank as sides are straight but it's ridiculously heavy. I like the plastic tank style but hanging anything is a pain as the barred roof is also the lid. But both mean deep substrate and less fear of the cats having a swipe at them. (Cats aren't allowed in hamster room and the door is always shut but it never know). I am a bit jealous of the access a front door would give if I had a wired cage but not of the mess I remember them making
