Lets talk bathtubs for rentals

From all the research I've done, it seams that the top three are as follows:

Cast Iron

Porcelain over Steel

Acrylic

For my situation, I'm renovating in a C grade neighborhood in an older home.  Cast iron is out.  So my options are PoS or Acrylic.  I will also need a surround so would do tiling if PoS or a matching Acrylic surround if I choose an Acrylic tub.  I'm noticing the costs are marginally different so it comes down to durability.  I'm reading that PoS could crack if something is dropped on it, and also could dent but be easily repaired.  Acrylic could also crack but not dent.

Thoughts?
