I agree with the access spot for easy oil changes, but I would go with the coroplast/aluminum combo (maybe full aluminum) and try to avoid plywood. That is simply due to the extra weight that plywood would add. Also coroplast and aluminum might be a much smoother surface for airflow than plywood.

I guess when it comes down to it though, any of those could work just fine. It would just be preference.
