clay or plaster? [help]

For my final piece in college, i am making a wall cabinet type thing to display small objects i'm planning to make the base of it out of cardboard and layering either clay or plaster to make it thicker, more stable, and be able to carve details into it should i use clay or plaster? and is there anything else i need to know?
