I would go with the smooth for easy gliding of the stock. If you look at the commercial models, They all appear to go with smooth surfaces and I would assume there would be a good reason for there choice. I just purhcased the Rockler table top and it is smooth.... I llike it very much and as Mike mentioned, very easy clean up.
Dewy also brings up a good point about surfacing both sides for preventing warping.
