I dont think the optiglass is worth the extra cost either. I have a tank made from it and in all honesty its no better than my other tanks.
If its a peaceful community tropical tank you could get a nice mix of fish, just avoid things like common or gibbiceps plecs, redtailed sharks, clown loaches and angelfish to name but a few. I have a peaceful community myself which has pearl gourami's, kissing gourami, hatchet fish, bristlenose plecs, blue rams, bolivian rams, green neons, black neons, x-ray barbs, harlequins, rummynose, farlowella, several types of corry catfish, bamboo, amano and cherry shrimp to name a few.
If you want easy to grow low maintenance plants go for things like amazon swords, vallis, java ferns, anubias etc.
