I'd use the biggest round over bit I could, which with 3/4 thick MDF would be a 3/4 inch bit

I assume you're talking about ports like this?

if so, then bigger is always better, yes, anywhere upto the thickness of the baffel

I have 3 router bits on the way... 5/8 round over (for 3/4 and 5/8 MDF) 1 inch round over (who wouldn't want a 1inch flare on their ports?) and a flush cutting router bit
