Default Counter top

I need to replace a counter top, on the cheap, but I want it to last! I will
be making my own, with some sort of lamiate. My question is the substrate.
The last counter was made from laminate and particle board substrate and the
partical board got wet and of course, expanded. I am wondering what material
would be best for substrate, something that could hold up to the ocasional
saoking. I was thinging MDO plywood, the stuff they make road signs out of,
second chice would be good old exterior grade plywood. someone recommended
green treated, but it is in a food prep area so that makes it a bad choice.
