Default Plexi, Lexan or ???

Hi.

I am building an amp and will be using a clear plastic over the front

panel
graphics.

I could use some help in choosing the material, such as Plexi or Lexan.
Since I will be drilling couple of 2" holes to mount panel meters, I need
some suggestions for which material is the best to work with. A hole saw

in
Plexi is prone to crack and maybe there is a better choice. There also may
be a better method for creating the holes than a standard hole saw.
Suggestions???

I seem to recall someone mentioning in the past that glass can be drilled if
it was kept in a bath of kerosene, and drilled while submerged.
thanks, John.
