I am having some interior doors built 1 3/8" thick with a shaker-style flat panel. They are spec'ing 1/4" ply for the panels, but that seems thin to me. Any opinions?
Flat panel thickness for interior doors

Yup. The original doors in my house (1860ish) are in that style, about that thickness and have 3/8-1/2 panels
1/4" seems a bit light to me.-Steve
1/4 is ok for cabinet doors, but for passage doors, you would want at least 1/2.
3/4 is better - that's what I'd want.
If you are having them built, tell them what you want - don't accept anything less. It should not be a big deal to the shop and the material cost is (almost) insignificant.
