Supported rails for the X axis and 20mm rails for the Y axis. Rails and bearings is one area that its worth spending money on.

I have looked at building bearing slides and
in the end i machined some brass collars (pressed into ali plate) to slide on a lubed 1.75" CDS tube i had laying around.
worked really well and cost very little.
Edit
Should add, i cut an oil groove in the centre of the bearing and drilled through to it. I fed it with the old drip cups from my myford
