I'd use 5/8" T1-11 over boards just for the shear strenght you'll get out of sheet goods.

Just keep it up off the ground by at least 10" so rain splasing up won't be aways getting the lower edge wet, which will lead to de laming of the plywood ,

 BTW I'd use plywood  over a strand "type" T1-11 if it where me.

If the boards are the look you want just use plwood or OSB as sheathing and apply them as siding.

Good luck , PEG
When in doubt , build it stout with something you know about .
