Go for somewhere in between live and dead(a mixture of wood and some softer pieces).
Also the room you are building is too small.
It will take a lot of bass trapping to get a decent sound and afterwards the room will be smaller than it already is.
And lastly you didn't mention about how you plan on cooling the vocal booth.
The 2 most important things to a vocalist is a great headphone mix in which they can hear themselves and they have to be feel comfortable.
I've been to some producers elaborate homestudios full of gear and the one thing that always gets over looked is the HVAC for the place.
Especially in the vocal booths.
It gets over looked because its expensive.
A central unit for your studio and with the ducts setup right can set you back $3k-$5K if you are lucky and you buy used.
You still have to pay someone to set it up right.
