I have fiberglass skylights in my hanger (50 x 50), barn (30 x 49) and 
garage (30 x 30) and would not build another building without using them.  I 
have had some issues but each was a result of either poor quality panels 
(contractor buying cheap rather than quality) or improper installation.  And 
even these issues were minor.  For me,  the ability to work in a brightly 
lighted building far outweighs any minor problems.  And an unintended bonus 
regards the barn, there is a night-light on a power pole nearby and it 
provides enough light inside the barn at night to move around and find a 
light switch.
Also, the hanger has two smaller panels on the East-facing wall up high 
above the door and these help.
