Overlap Or Shiplap?

I'm in the process of searching for a decent shed for the two buns, and wondering what fellow rabbit owners would advise on which type. I do know shiplap is better than overlap, but if I was to insulate a overlap completely then cover up with plywood, would this be good enough?
Regards

Definatley not the overlap as buns can pick up little bits and nibble holes in it.

Not this type

You want this t&G type

If you cannot afford a tongue and groove one ensure that you line the interior

Thankyou for replying with your advice. I've been looking around and definately agree with the t & g, I have a buget of around £200. Would you say a 6 x 4 shed is large enough for two medium size buns? I will go bigger if its around that price.

Shiplap will also hold together better. Overlap will not last as long even if you insulate it the structural integrity wouldn't be any better.
