Assuming it's not an A+ luxury unit in the most desirable part of town, then I'd usually recommend a plastic shower curtain instead of a glass door, because it costs much less and can be changed easily between tenants (whereas a glass door often accumulates water spots that can be difficult to fully clean after a few tenants...and, as you mentioned, if a tenant breaks a glass door, that could be a costly headache).Also, assuming it's not an A+ luxury unit, I'd usually recommend going with a fiberglass unit (either tub or shower) instead of tile, because tile is usually more expensive, and it can be more likely to begin leaking, and it requires more upkeep.
