I've used plain solid-core interior doors as table tops in a couple of workbench builds. They're probably a bit more expensive than plywood or MDF, but they're very flat and straight. Their thickness both contributes to stability and eliminates the need for doubling around the edges if you leave an overhang for clamping. They're available in at least a couple of sizes.
