Corey,

Plexiglas is a pain in the neck to cut, sand, and
shape.  It's too brittle--too prone to chipping and
cracking.  Polyethylene cutting board material is
fantastic from an electrical standpoint, and it's
easier to work with.  However, it is impossible to
glue as no known glue will stick to it.  I like PVC
pipe supports for my primary.  It's dirt cheap and
works as easy as wood.

22AWG is a good choice for medium-sized secondaries. 
I've wound a 4" x 24" and a 6" x 30" secondary with
22AWG magnet wire, and results were most satisfactory.
 You can see them both on my web site.
