mdf and plexi are very similar when comparing the size thickness. both work very well. however, 3/4" plexi can be very expensive. i would love to make a plexi cover for my box, but price does not fit into my budget. i believe plexi i a bit harder to work with and flaws are very noticable.

unless you have the experiance and money for plexi, do a MDF box.

nope. perform almost exactly the same. i believe plexi may be a bit heavier at similar thicknesses, so that will be a plus over mdf. just make sure its 3/4" or thicker
