I would say 5mm, it's quite heavy but if you are attaching rails directly to it then you need some thickness for the screw threads. I used 3mm box so I'm having to glue a piece of 6mm flat strap inside to give it a 9mm thickness. The best way I've found to decide on material thickness for threads is to see what thickness a nut is for any particular size bolt and use that as the minimum.
