You'll be fine with BC, but I would use glass on the inside also... ;)

Re: plywood grade

Many pros use AC or BC, encapsulated in resin. As long as all sides (especially end grain) are fully covered, water has no chance of getting in. Might want to thin the first coat and use less hardner to get maximum absorption before you start laying cloth.
