Would it be healthier to replace a plastic water dish and hideout with a natural hideout and a glass water dish for a tarantula?

Makes no difference at all, I use nothing but plastic water dishes and corkbark for hides. I must say, I don’t think I’ve ever heard of glass water dishes being incorporated.

Tbh we use glass dishes but only because they had cheesecake in them and they looked good . Most of ours are plastic thou.

Cork bark is always a must (for me at least). For water I start with a plastic bottle cap then switch to glass tea light holder (1 oz) then a 2 oz plastic condiment/sauce cup and finally a larger glass bowl for my largest Ts, especially the Theraphosas and the arborials in large/high terrarium.
Hoping this helps, cheers.
Here they are in order:
