Wood
Pros: Cheap
         Easy to change shape or size as your needs for space change
         DIY - most people would be able to build it from scratch or make modifications (e.g. add windows)
         Can be converted to chazzon ish (replace metal screws with peg screws)
         Can integrate a schlock to the structure
Cons: Heavy, Can warp over time. (note: if you use enough fasteners and are also careful to assemble it balanced this can be minimized)
         Needs lots of storage space

Fiberglass
Pros: Easy Setup (on level ground)
         Length/width is reconfigurable (you just need to buy a few 2x4 beams if you change layout)
Cons: Expensive
         Greenhouse effect on hot days (need to budget for several open/shut windows)
         Connection threads can become bent even with proper storage (need to budget for the odd panel replacement here and there)
         Can Crack or Break

Canvas
Pros: Setup in minutes
Cons: Not accepted by all poskim
         Poor protection from cold Weather
         Wind Can be bothersome.

Probably a good idea to ask in the bingo thread. :)

Also, there was a deal on DDMS very recently, for Sukkah lights. See if those are ideal for you. (Provided the deal is still alive.)

Yeah. Don't know if it would provide adequate light. Up to you to determine.

A couple years ago I picked up 2 led shop lights from Harbour Freight. They were nice and small and gave off plenty of light. Was very nice and bright. My Sukkah wasn't that big though, pretty small actually. But the lights were nice and bright, even with just  one light, the Sukkah probably would have been pretty well lit. Each piece was only around $20. IIRC.

no recommendations but if you go with infrared, be aware that most of the cheaper ones give off a significant amount of light. There are expensive infared that have no light
ETA: these have no light
Vs these

@avadah

Ok, so I checked the box in my garage, it's very similar to this one. Same company, size, and type. Only difference seems to be that mine is 5000 lumen, this one is 5500.
