    I would recommend specifically AR Coated glass to minimize the reflections...
    I generally look for surplus glass flats... You can detect the AR coating because
    of a slightly purple hue to the reflections...

    A cheaper source of glass is called "archival glass" and it's used
    by museums to protect documents as such, it has a light coating
    by design as well.

    At times I've also used special round optics to correct problems like
    beam divergence (due to bounce mirrors)...

    You want to avoid "regular" glass because you'll suffer from a ghosting
    problem from the internal reflections... (it'll show up as blurry or doubled
    images)
