I am looking to make a rule of thumb of when each material is used.I've installed around a hundred better-quality, custom-fit vinyl windows so far.

Tile might be a good choice in Las Vegas too, using the larger tiles, maybe Travertine.

Our higher income houses are actually great once installed (I work full + time, run 9 houses and am launching a blog/webstite,  + have a husband so I know busy) Than buying another personal property with 5% down conventional.
