G-10/FR4 is .067 lb/in^3 and polycarbonate is ~.044 lb/in^3.
The garolite is unquestionably far stronger in this application however. Although commonly used as panels by teams, it is a very poor choice for a structural bellypan (some people will disagree on the basis that they've done it and it works, but it's very inefficient for the same strength).
