I just took down a 5 band quad I built from fiberglass tubes from MGS. They are still in excellent shape and I'd recommend them. The only problem might be shipping. I was lucky enough to have someone pick them up when MGS used to do Dayton.
Make sure you follow the treatment instructions for fiberglass. Pick a good UV coating to seal and protect them, else they will start to break down in a year or two.
