Use what you like, not what someone else likes.

Osage

Sound-wise, I don't hear a huge difference, so I usually opt for the cheapest I can find when I'm making them.  That usually ends up being Poplar.

Walnut.

The more figured, the better.

Red Cedar. White  Oak is great if you want a slate that is higher pitched and loud.

Walnut for medium pitch and maple for a little higher pitch for me. Can change everything with the striker, too.

hard to beat straight grain walnut ,cherry ,cedar or maple
