Just talk to the carpenter again, and ask him for advice. But here's my advice.
Both will work just fine, but I personally like plywood. Just go a little thicker if you're worried.
Imo, just go with the 13mm all around.
I personally went with a sheet of 3/4 inch thick sheet of pine plywood, which I cut to 12 inch deep, and the premade wood brackets. I don't know what the metric equivalents would be, but I'm sure you can figure it out.
