I dunno. My personal preference is cork bark. It's rot resistant and stunning. It's also easy to find in my area. Not only does the local orchid nursery have some lovely pieces, but most of the pet stores (chains included) carry decent pieces of it.

Grape wood is nice as well, but I'd be too tempted to use it in my aquariums. It's very pretty wood.
