As for the back panel, 1/8" or 1/16" will be both be bent very easily if not covered by bumpers in the current setup. If they are covered correctly by bumpers that are well supported, neither would be an issue. As for cutting the name and number into it, those letters are big, and will reduce the strength a good deal. Since it'll be covered by bumpers, really no reason to write that.

This year we used C channel and it was pleanty strong enough. Also if we dont want it to bend, would you recommend 1/4? We would like it to show if it is there because otherwise it is just extra weight.
