I think I would go with a BC plywood due to moisture. I've ussed MDF and it does not like humidity.

your can get exterior grade MDF the name is Exteria . most cabinet shops has access to it. ive cut a pc and threw it in a bucket of water and it didnt swell . you can also use a cellular PVC sheet

or check into getting thermally modified hardwood, they "cook" it at a higher temp in the kiln . i had a sample louvered shutter made out of it and im pretty impressed. its about the same cost as spanish cedar but it actually comes with a warranty from the company who "cooks" it

for the interior you could use poplar. it's inexpensive and pretty durable. for the outdoor kitchen we are building them out of bricks on my houses. weatherproof and inexpensive.
