It depends on how long you want it to last. For a longer lasting project, use the nicer felt. It's so much nicer to work with and doesn't fall apart if you sew it too much.
craft felt should be fine-thicker felt will hold it's shape better than thin felt
Wool felt is more expensive but it has nice body. For improved rigidity you can use 2 pieces of craft felt with interfacing in between.
