You can see here - I used plywood on the top one as I needed the end to be attached where there was no stud, the bottom straight through drywall onto studs at both ends.
The plywood is 1/2" I had lying around and practically speaking I can find no difference in strength in either.

Thanks Mark.
The question is "Any suggestions of wood and thickness? Or go with the standard Hacksaw Jim's 2x4's?"
I was thinking of getting a sheet of plywood but am worried about strength. Since there isn't a huge difference in price, I will just get a few 2x4's and call it a day.
