Urethane > all +1
but i thought urethane = polyurethane? idk. i just always have good experience with polyurethane, it fits better, flexible, doesnt break very easily, add flex agent to paint and its going to be real tough.
fiberglass = fitment sucks, body shops hate it and charge you alot of money, hit a curb and its over. hit a cone and its over lol.
FRP/Hybrid is a fancy name for fiberglass mixed with crap, might be a tiny bit stronger but still the sucks in my opinion.
CF is carbon fiber. Its expensive but looks cool. haha.

Polyurethane > Urethane > FRP > CF > Fiberglass > Paper Mache
Urethanes = Flexible, OEM-type material, very durable, 99% very good fitment
FRP = Fiber Reinforced Plastic or something like that. Flexible(?) (I don't know much about FRP, someone enlighten us?)
CF = Carbon Fiber. Looks nice. Brittle like fiberglass.
Fiberglass = Cheap, cracks, brittle, requires refinishing before painted, questionable fitment
