White oak plywood is available in both "Quarter Sawn" and "Flat Sawn"
with the Quarter Sawn costing 2x as much. I am willing to pay the
extra money if the result is worthwhile but am not sure how noticeable
this is in paneling having never used Quarter Sawn. Any pointers on
the right way to do this?

Pick the grain pattern you like the best. That is the primary
difference. Dark stains tend to reduces the visible difference, but
IMHO negates the use of oak. You might as well use cheap Luan.
