I've played on a plastic for 6 years...a Fox artist model (I believe it's the 330?). It has been an amazing instrument, however I am now switching to a Grenadilla (wood) Yamaha because there is just no comparison with the sound and ease of playing. Although they require more maintenance and there is the big risk of cracking (horrors!!!) they are well worth it. However, depending on your level you may want to start with a cheaper plastic and then decide if the oboe is for you. Hope this helps!
