If your just going to paint them, then I'd say go the fibreglass, otherwise CF.

In some cases the fibreglass 1's are not always a perfect fit. At least u can kinda work em to fit, ie: sanding/cutting/re-glassing. Dunno how u would go shaping CF ones.......?

use fibre glass, unless you want the carbon fibre look, most people think cf is brittle, its only brittle when you have the axes of forces facing each other, ie, on a straight peice of cf, side a is pushing towards side b.

when you add up the cost f/g is less than $7 per m*2 vs cf which is $32 per m*2,
