i havent had experience with the poly hives, but everyone i have talked to that has had them said they would not buy another one.
not standard dimensions, easily broken.
i do use (and prefer) plastic foundation.
some disadvantages are: the all plastic frames/foundation have void spaces around the edge that is a breeding ground for pests like the small hive beetle and wax moth.
the bees dont draw out the plastic as fast as wax, especially the all plastic. (i use plastic snap-in in wooden frames.
the all plastic is hard to repair if the ears break off.
the all plastic perma-comb type frames that i used were left empty, except the occasional pollen pellet. ( i now use these as a landing board in front of the hive!)
if you decide on the plastic foundation, use the wax coated, and put only plastic in (no wax foundation)
