Those tempered glass tops in gas ranges and on smooth top electric ranges will break if something is dropped on them. But another type of top would also probably also get damaged if subjected to that kind of impact. I think what you get should be a matter of personal taste, and there is probably no compelling reason for favoring one over the others.

We have white porcelain top in our Bosch gas range, and our son has tempered glass top in his GE gas range. We both like what we have. They both clean with about the same ease.

Whatever you get, just don't let anything fall on it from a distance. If you have a storage cabinet over the range, be extra extra careful when accessing it. If you damage your cooktop or rangetop it will cost you several hundred dollars to replace the damaged parts.
