S&G: What would be lighter?

So, What is the better choice?
I want light weight but reasonable durability.

3 mm ply with 6 oz cloth on outside, 3 oz cloth inside.

or

4 mm ply with 3 oz inside, 3 oz inside.

Yes, I am considering just glassing the inside of the cockpit, not the rest of the inside.

Any better suggestions?
