I made my own cabinet from scratch over the summer, Its made from a 10 inch radio shack all range woofer, for my bass. It's made out of particle board, which is pretty light, and has an overall good speaker. If my new band works out I'll also be making a 412 for bass out of the same, and I'd probably use celestion speakers as well, the material doesn't matter, all that matters is the speaker and the connectibility, guitars generally use quarter-inch or banana plugs, while bass uses AXL, speakon, quarter-inch and banana plugs. personally, I find that AXL or banana plugs are the best. Another thing to consider is the reactivity of the speaker.
