What Mirror Glas/Acryl for MM ?

Hello, I’m new to the forum and a few days ago I started to get all the necessary parts for the magic mirror. However, I am just facing the right choice of the mirror glass, which must have specifications, whether acrylic or glass. So I ask you, with what you have the best experiences?
Excuse my english, I come from Germany.

I am in the process of finishing my MM. I went with 3/16" thick Mirror Pane Glass vs the Acrylic for a couple of reasons.

No chance of waviness in the glass.

Yes, it is substantially heavier and brings about a spectacular boom when dropped vs. Acrylic.

My next project which will be a laptop screen will use acrylic because of the costs associated with using glass.

I had bought here the mirror folie: https://folieopmaat.nl/winkel/spiegelfolie-max/
They send it also to Germany i think.

I use it on a simple piece of glass.
