I had a similar question when first getting an acrylic tank.  I had heard
that some of the large, aggressive wood chewers may cause problems.  Stuff
like the Royal pleco.  The regular, cheap, pleco should not cause a
problem was the advice I got.  Certianly anything that would be acceptable
in a planted tank would be fine.

I have had an acrylic tank for only 6 months with a "regular" pleco in the
6-8 inch TL and have not noticed any marking of the tank and the pleco
seems fine.

Good luck the acrylic tank is just breathtaking, I love it.
