I have 1 6 gallon glass carboy and only because the LHBS gave it to me for the same price as the 6 gallon better bottle. I like the Better Bottles a lot and would rather have all Better Bottles. Glass is too risky for my tastes. Otherwise, I have 2-6 gallon Better Bottles, 1 Glass carboy, and 2-5 gallon Better Bottles. The 5 gallon ones rarely get used. Only for space issues or dry-hopping and lagering. Most beers go from primary to keg.

I haven't been using a secondary fermentor for a while. I usually go from conical to keg except for lagers. I got rid of most of my glass carboys this year because they take up too much floor space, heavy, fragile etc. I replaced them with 2-6 gal. and 2-5 gal. better bottles. The best part is I can stack them anywhere and not worry about them breaking.
