I like Dymondwood, Purpleheart and Monkey Wood with the small flare tips on glass. but there is so many others like Woodhaven strike 3 laminated strikers. I have some glass that likes just a hickory striker. I wouldn't go out and buy all these, get with friends with other strikers and try theirs. I have a huge bag of them now from just buying new and used calls with strikers. Check the classfieds on here, hunters are selling several striker at a time they no longer use cheap compared to new with shipping cost.
