All time favorite woods for trumpets.......

Other than looks, does the type of woods really make a difference in the sound quality of a trumpet?

Depends on how it's built.

You may see a consistent difference between woods that run on the high and low ends of density and hardness.  To be honest I'd be hesitant to say much about wood and sound quality as it's so variable between makers and individual pieces of wood.  There are consistent woods like ABW and others that seem to perform well.
