Polycast Extruded or Cell Cast acrylic for tank?

What are the advantages and disadvantages of extruded vs. cell cast acrylic?

I'm getting a new tank made, but I have these two options. Which would be better for a 36"x25"x25" tank?

thanks

Cell Cast acrylic

extruded is a pain to drill and can absorb water at higher rate than cell cast
