Pretty much anything will do. I even proposed an ultra cheap design where the front was covered with plastic. It would have needed a fan to keep temperatures down, but I'm sure it would have worked.

I think the glass will work out fine for you. Just make sure you secure it well to the frame. I would use more than just silicon. All the expansion and contraction from extreme heat/cold cycles will want to move things around.
