Use 3/4 and double it for the front baffle.

DYohn is right...
1" MDF is a little stronger but at over double the cost (in my area atleast) it is not worth it. You get plenty of strength with 3/4" and a double front baffle. If you add some internal bracing it will be extremely strong and you will not have flexing.

I used 3/4 and braced it. Mounted my MX15D2 vertically cause that was the only way I could get it to fit anyway. Used WinISD and checked results against this forum's calculator as well. I stuck with 34hz tuning and it just plain ROCKS !!

Did you have to find all those specs for WinISD?  I tried it using the specs off the RE website, but there were too many unknowns for it to let me proceed.
