Jim - If you go with plywood, check with a real lumber yard.  I 
purchased 5x8 sheets of 3/4" exterior plywood for my balcony which is 5 
x 45.  It cost more than 4x8, but the time/labor savings of not ripping 
1' sections and blocking for the edges was worth it.

For clarification, the plywood is covered with a metal lath, waterproof 
cement, epoxy, and color/texture layers.
