I think your 1/4" BB would be fine as long as you seal it well with either The Mix or epoxy before you sheath it with the aluminum. The underlayment plywood I buy is better than 1/4" AC and cheaper–-the inner layer is solid with no knots. I once soaked a piece of scrap in a bucket for a month and it never delaminated.

I am not familiar with underlayment, is that something a big box store would have or do I need to find a lumber yard?

All the 1/8" has to do is keep the insulation in place & glue to the inner 3/4" panel until the walls are buttoned up & finished. The 1/8" saves money over 1/4" & weight as well. If you're using .040" aluminum for the skins, 1/4" isn't really necessary.
This is extremely helpful, I was wondering if I could do that, now I may just do that.
