We all learn something, new everyday. Weather or not a drain would help is still outside my experiance. You are correct the effort used to install the drain is probably easier than not installing the drain, as it has the potential to save on future cage maintenance.
That being said I have pondered the use of a drain in my Iguana enclosures. I already need one for the water source, because there is no way I'm draging a tub of water to the toilet at least a few times a week. Since this will be towards the one end it is possible to run a line to the center of the enclosure for a floor drain. MY idea to prevent comprimise and clogging and since this would be a seapage only line. Would be to install teh drain as usually with the grate etc. However from the drain to the T connection with the other line or at leat part of it, some backfilling with pea gravel or small rock would prevent soil erosion through the drain. This rock would have to be secured in some fashion. Still an idea in progress.
As for the FRP I will still use it for the sides and ceiling, however I may consider using the epoxy for the floor. And up part of the sides to form the tray. The FRP on the sides would overlap some of this but the epoxy would do all the work.
Thanks for letting me think out loud.
Cheers
