I have a glass stove top and use my cast iron. You just have to be extra careful and NOT slide the pan around. Always always lift it. I had had my glass stove top for over 15 years and have only one small scratch about an inch long in the main burner area. It is barely visible, not sure how it got there but the stove tops are pretty durable. For me, the ease of cleaning outweighs the extra care required.
