first time drawer building

I’m looking to build drawers for my new assembly table, and seeking advice. I have never build drawers, and I do not have a table saw, router table, or dovetail jig. Aesthetics not a priority.

It’s a 4’x4’ top, set on 2”x4” framing. I want two sets of drawers, cavities for the drawer sets are each around 22”x22”x22”. Will hold measuring tools, sanding stuff, jig saw, router stuff, hand tools, nothing too heavy. Shop in an uninsulated garage.

My questions are:
What drawer heights do you find most practical?
If I make the drawer boxes out of 3/4 birch ply with glued and screwed butt joints, will that be OK? Would rabbets make them stronger?
is 3/16 hardboard OK for the bottoms? Would you support it with something underneath?
I would like full extension slides, but there are so many options and prices. Was thinking these would be right:

but would welcome advice. I’m assuming I can just hang the slides on the framing?

Thanks in advance!
