New to laminate...which laminate do you use?

I'm a bit confused about the laminate that is used on cabs.  Is it the giant sheets of hard laminate, or roll-type?  Got any links to the laminate that you used?  I'm thinking about just using black.

There are different laminates rated for vertical and horizontal use.  I used the vertical which is thinner and can be rolled up.

Here is the seller I bought mine from.  I purchased 5 sheets of black and have been real happy with the product.

I use laminate that is already stuck to the Plywood/MDF on both sides.... Go to your local plywood store (Not Home Depot/Lowes) and ask for melamine coated plywood.

I use Formica brand laminate (1/16") from Home Depot. U can get it in various sized sheets. I buy the 4x8' sheets. I think it ends up costing around $60. They have to special order it for me in the section of the store that sells granite and other countertop material. It takes a week or two to get it. Comes rolled up in a big cardboard box to make it easier to ship and to bring home from the store.

I use melamine coated MDF all the time but it is not as tough as Laminate.  I get black laminate from Home Depot as it is the only one that they seem to stock that does not look like a kitchen counter (that's the purpose I guess).  Any other colors are special order.
