I think in the long run, you will need to identify what kind of pleco and what other fish you will keep, before deciding sand/gravel. I personally think either will be fine in general.

play sand can work in tanks along with pool sand.

sorry the plecos i have are l235
l091 l052 clown plecs and some bristle noses they are all in seperate tanks

Play sand should work fine with those. Also, pool sand works just as well. I prefer a sand substrate for plecos because it's a little easier to keep clean, and some of the species like to dig in it. If you do decide to go with gravel, make sure it's a smooth gravel, with no sharp edges to scrape up your bottom dwellers.
