Hi,

What is the best material to use for window boards?

Hardwood, Softwood or MDF.

Depends on finish required , if painting mdf is ideal and cheapest. If you want polished finish then hardwood which is also more stable than softwood but most expensive option.
 
They will be painted. On that basis is MDF the best option or are there any benefits of using an alternative material.

If using MDF it needs to be the MR (moisture resistant) variety. This is often (although not always) green in colour. Many timber merchants carry pre-primed bull nose window boards in a variety of widths. These are generally 22 to 25mm thick
