Flip / Rental Cabinets

Wondering what cabinets flippers and BRRRs are installing. Hardwood, MDF, Plywood, etc ? What is best? What is most cost efficient? Any advice on which RTA dot com to source? I am working on my third buy and hold BRRR which will be a live in flip and the kitchen will need to be redone. I am also thinking about doing a DIY concrete countertop. Any advice in regards to sellability/rentabity based on experience with concrete countertops would be much appreciated.

@Dustin Little I am in the middle of rehab on a new 19 unit acquisition in Berwyn, IL. I am putting in solid wood cabinets that I got from a local cabinet shop. I priced the same kitchen design out at the big box stores as well as four or five local cabinet shops. In the end, the pricing was pretty much the same for me to go with very nice quality custom cabinets! 

I also chose to go with granite counter tops. I have a fairly affordable granite guy, and from what I can tell it only costs about $100-150 more per apartment to go with granite. The tenants, however, think it is amazing!  I would check around with some of your local granite folks to price it out. I actually got my granite guy from the cabinet shop btw.
