You need to consider the thickness of adjoining walls where they meet the new wall to get a proper match to the siding. Matching the thickness of existing walls will probably be your best bet. Bottom of Plywood can not be any less than 8" above grade. Plywood up to 1/2" requires 6d nailing 6" on edges and 12" on intermediate supports. Plywood thicker than 1/2" up to 1" requires same spacing with 8d nails. If using 3/8" or 3 ply panels theyu must be applied with long dimension running horizontally offset so corners do not meet.
