I've never used MDF but if you sealed it with a good exterior grade paint I cabt see why it wouldnt last a good while.  I would stick with latex based paints just because they are all around safer for humans and animals.

Any paint at all, once it's dried. Enamels or two part paints are more durable, but good old fence/house paint would be perfect.
