3/16" looks like a good choice for those plates. I know your not anywhere near this point, but if you could get EVERYTHING laid out in Inventor (like early in the build) then you could get some really (big) nicely lasercut or waterjetted holes in those tubes and plates. As for the bottom pan, you could probably go with a little bit thinner even and then roll some beads in it (or get it embossed) and it will really stiffen it up and look cool too.
