I've got a really nice sounding double-sided call with slate on one side, glass on the other, and a slate sounding board that sounds great with an applewood striker.  It's my favorite combo to take in the woods.  I bought the combo from a fellow from PA that makes them and was selling them at a gun show in my hometown on Beckley, WV a few years ago.

I like hickory, persimmon, black locust, bloodwood and purpleheart.
For a snappier, sharper sound and rollover ....dymondwood.

Hard to beat black locust. Won’t break the bank either.

Cedar for sure, and black walnut is a close second.
