Carbon fiber should be in composite form as if CFRP (carbon fiber reinforced plastic).
Glass fiber could be an alternative to CFRP but would not perform as good as CFRP but way cheaper. So it really depends on for what purpose you gonna use and what performances you aiming to achieve to decide which one to use.
Basalt fiber could be another option with a way better performance and price compare to glass fiber but prices go up compared to glass fiber and just opposite compare to carbon fiber!
So unfortunately not possible to kill three birds with one stone.
P.S. sorry for late response just noticed your message.
