Workbench question...

Going to attempt one of my first woodworking projects being a decent workbench.

For the 2 open shelves it asks for 3/4" birch plywood. Do I use the MDF core or the veneer core?

Cost is pretty much equal…what do you prefer?

Although MDF is more stable than most plywoods, it is also heavier. MDF is frequently used for shelving, but plywood is most often used for furniture grade projects. IMO its a toss up for workbench shelving. I tend to like to use plywood myself.
