Another important consideration when choosing glass, besides weight, is thread count. Check out http://www.cstsales.com/FGDataTable.htm.

If you are glassing sailplane wings, I would suggest a higher thread count. You will get better tensile strength, and it takes a little less epoxy to saturate the fibers. That saves you some weight.
