Go for the waffle perc, it stacks like crazy and is the almost perfect daily driver. If you're looking in zob I'd go for their version of the circ perc bubbler, one of the best designs I've seen recently. If you'd be willing to throw another 100 for 4 bills you can get the vertigo bubbler with a 10 arm downstem and a circ downstem, which once you see it you'll totally fall for it because its design in flawless imo, all of this is on aqualabs.
Glass is totally worth the price the put up for it, the high off a quality bong last much longer and feels very clean, I haven't been smoking for too long, but I have smoked out of every main type of piece and for those who say joints and blunts fuck you up more, thats just because you put in .5 in a joint and a gram in a blunt, while a bowl is usually .2...well if you smoke a gram out of a high quality piece of glass you will be much more fucked up then you will be off the blunt, just most people aren't willing to throw down a whole gram for a bong because its really overkill. Heres how I rank pieces Best- Quality percolated bongs, bag vapes, high end percolated bubblers, whip vapes, blunts, low quality percolated bongs, a plain straight bong, plain bubblers, pipes, and finally joints. I really don't like normal paper joints, I don't want to toke on trees, so I'll usually try to get hemp or rice papers
