Either of those will work (wear a face shield--the cut off disk can explode on the dremel). I also use a grinder with both a cut off disk and a sanding disk on it.
I've never tried, but I would also think that a router and flush trim bit may work depending on what you are doing.

Make life easy on yourself if you've got to do a bunch of this and grab a heavy long sleeve shirt or pull over that you DON'T PLAN TO WEAR ALL DAY. Wear it while your grinding/cutting/etc then take it off after you've cleaned up the mess. Cutting/Grinding in fiberglass can be pretty viscous for your skin especially if your sensitive to fiberglass. It could save you a lot of irritation for the rest of the day or even the next couple of days.

I second that. It can be pretty hard on the skin sometimes.
I usually use a grinder with a cutoff wheel. If i have to get into a smaller spot i use a die grinder, dremel, or whatever fits in there. The dremel will work but the bits have a short life.

I Third that! Buy the better/best Dremel cutting wheel for fiberglass. (I usuall grab the fiberglass reinforced, but I know they make a wheel that is designed for cutting fiberglass) I have also had really good luck using the spiral cutting bit that's designed to cut wood. (But you SHOULD DEFINATELY BE WEARING A FACE SHIELD AND HAVE THE WORK WELL SECURED!)
Good luck!

Just got an angle grinder. Goes through it like butter! I started using those discs on a Dremel that explode, took forever. Then I bought the carbide cutting disc. Worked a lot better. Then I bought a universal 4" cutting disc for my Rotozip. Worked pretty good, but that motor didn't like the heavy load. So now I have an angle grind. Butter!
