I make a lot of stuff using MDF. It’s a down right pain in the but to work with because it’s soooooo heavy and the dust is absolutely horrible (and toxic to breath)…. But, it is amazingly flat and makes an outstanding table top for gluing anything on it with contact cement. You can rout the edges with a router (within the dust cloud), sand it, polish it, paint it…..just about anything. I’ve trimmed out homes with MDF trim too. I can certainly understand whey speaker cabinets are made out it. The car audio DIY crowd has been making subwoofer cabinets using MDF for years. Before that they used particle board. Plywood dose not worth very well.
I haven't worked with HDF, and can't even find it. If it's heavier than MDF, I'll pass. Wrasslin a 4 X 8 sheet of 3/4 MDF around tough enough.

If you've ever put in a laminate floor, many use HDF for the backing material.

I have put in many laminate floors and it is a killer on saw blades.
