In all honesty, I don't think anyone can give you a straight answer. You'll have the snobs that either say wood doesn't matter or ones that sniff over every grain like a fine wine.
In my amateur opinion, it really depends on the rest of your set up and what you plan to do with it. Some woods are brighter, some are darker, and you want the best to compliment your amp and other gear. There are so many damn variables.
