I own both whiteboard and a small glass board at home. Here are my pros n cons based on my experience.

Whiteboard

Pros:

  • Much cheaper compared to glass board of the same size.
  • Most boards are magnetic so you can use magnets to hold paper notes etc.,
  • Sticky notes tend to stick for a longer time on the whiteboard than glass board. (Maybe it depends on the quality of the sticky notes)
  • Multiple color dry markers look better in whiteboard than glass board (If you use multiple color markers)

Cons:

  • Need to have a cleaning liquid to erase properly. Particularly if you let your writings for longer time, it tends to leave stains.

Glassboard

Pros

  • Very easy to erase no matter the time you let it be.
  • Aesthetic look

Cons:

  • All the pros of Whiteboard. :D

I have a smaller glass board that I use for quick notes and a big whiteboard that I use for thinking aloud.

Hope you got some idea!!

I bought a glass board opposed to a whiteboard when I renovated my office. Easily one of my better purchases.

I'd also go for a whiteboard - I have magnets all over my place :-)
