I have used #1 pine 1X4 to case many, many doors and windows. I don't think it looks thin at all. As for knots, you will need to hand pick your lumber, there is no other way to get decent wood. I actually like to run the router down both edges with a 1/2" roundover bit, makes it look like real trim instead of a piece of 1X4 nailed to the wall. Typically I use 1X6 across the top.
