I used melamine laminate over particle board.  Cheap and readily available.  You can write on the board and mark start/stop locations and then wipe clean.  The material being worked slides easily over the melamine. 

Cheap enough to replace if I even need to.

Thanks so much for the information. I plan on using high pressure laminate to laminate on the top and ege with hardwood. Probably use ply for the fence. I was planning to use Norm's router table.

MDO for mine.  Shellacked the paper facings to make them slick and durable.

I'd never use MDF. I have 1-1/4" MDO for mine. Much stiffer than MDF, even doubled.
