I would say Macassar ebony over anything as Macassar is always a favorite( Voodoo wood ) of mine , but watching David kill em everywhere with the purple heart over cedar is going to make me tote mine this year !

Toss up between his purple heart over cedar and mac ebony over walnut.  Both are great.  Wish I could get my hands on both of those prior to his laser engraving days.  Just don't care for laser engraving on a "custom" box.  To each his own. 
Turkeys certainly don't seem to mind.

I would have to go different route , I would have his IPE / black limba longbox , it gives me more diversity in my options of calling birds .... this is if i could only have ONE ....

Just from listening to soundfiles and watching videos I would say Macassar Ebony over Walnut. I have never heard any of his calls in person though.

Purple Heart and cedar is the most versatile box for me. It will make a wide range of calls. My favorite box for gobbler yelps but has a lot of hen to offer. I also have his walnut and butternut (2nd favorite) and the ebony and poplar.

I've had both his purpleheart and cedar as well as his Mac ebony and walnut. Both are awesome that will kill turkeys every day of the week. My preference goes to the Mac ebony and walnut though. That's the one riding in my vest

Purple Heart over Cedar. I also have the macassar over walnut, but like the PH/Cedar better
It's a tough call tho. Both are great calls and will both be in my vest this season.
