Always used cheap sand in it and worked OK for me. Now I am wondering if switching over to glass bead is better, like a smoother finish, etc ?
What say you ?? Thanks in advance

As has been mentioned, glass beads give a very nice finish without cutting softer metals. Carbs, fuel pumps, etc are clean and undamaged. Glass beads are more expensive and do degenerate rather quickly. They are not preferred for rust removal but do the job on rust reasonably, as long as your not doing large items.
