I use hunks of microlam LVL beam. I have used these for a long time and they hold up much better than normal plywood. If you make friends with some carpenters/framers when they're building garages and houses you'll be able to get cutoff pieces. Mine are about 12"x12". I keep a bunch in my storage bays. I wouldn't want to wrestle with a piece of steel plate under the rig.
