I need to redo the sides of a Mouse Trap game (and maybe later a Battlezone) and I'm trying to decide whether to go with white melamine board from Home Depot or just use MDF and later cover it with white vinyl? Melamine is almost double the cost of plain MDF but I imagine the price gets closer when you add up the costs of getting the vinyl.

What are people's thoughts? Which is most durable, easier to cut with a wood router and overall is the better choice?

Also if I go with the melamine, will I have trouble gluing/attaching wood pieces to that kind of surface with the other panels and inside parts?
