I would go with MDO. It's a marine grade plywood. Won't warp or absorb moisture. Then veneer with desired finish. I would also add a pair of fans.
 
My only suggestion regarding a hood is consider removable panels instead of doors and an open top. My last hood for my 125g allowed me to completely remove the front for access.

Just a cleat on the bottom to support the weight and marine grade encased magnets to hold it upright. Worked amazing.
 
This would look great with yours, not my tank
