You'd save quite a bit of money if you used regular grade plywood for the backs and sides, toe kicks and such. Use Cabinet grade on doors and drawers only.
Anywhere you don't have to do a joint more complex than a rabbet or groove regular ply is fine. I'd estimate marine ply would add 30% to the cost, and not add much to the value/strength.

Regular grade a/b ply that is - assuming you have a source for maple ply. If you are going to do the veneer work yourself I have no experience with that, don't know if the b side would be smooth enough. You'd want the A side as the interior, veneer the b side.
