If there will be moisture which I assume there will be in a kitchen I'd go with Moisture Resistant (MR) MDF, which should also be nicer to paint than regular MDF. You can prime it yourself. I've been using high density foam rollers for my wardrobes and it leave a very smooth finish if you sand in between coats.
Will the end grain be visible? If yes, you'll need to give it a good sanding both before and after priming, and then prime it again, otherwise it will have a very rough surface finish after paint and suck up a lot of paint. MR board won't be as bad as regular MDF with that last part though so maybe only one prime of edge will be needed.
