15 / 16 mm normal WSB ply with the flooring of your choice on top (I have laminate).
Marine ply is a bit OTT for this and bloody expensive.

I used 9mm, it is for the best part supported by the metal floor.

I agree - the spans between the corrugations in the floor are short, so 9mm should be fine. I used 18mm, thinking it had to be thick enough to hold the screws for the table floor socket, but actually that's bolted all the way through the metal floor. So I rather regret fitting the 18mm now, and I'm sure 9mm would be fine.

Ain''t it great when you want to do the best job you can and can ask the opinions of folks that have already "test driven" the job.
