I'd use the white oak. quite naturally rot resistant. exterior grade elmers or equivalent should work.
other rot resistant woods include: black walnut, virginia red cedar, red wood, white cedar, black locust.
red or black oak are NOT rot resistant.

I think I would look for wood from the Rubbermaid tree.
Or enameled steel cabinets
