My preferences differ for different meats.

For pork in general I also agree with your choices.
1. Peach
2. Cherry
3. Apple

For beef I prefer oak or pecan, for poultry I like cherry for color, but prefer citrus woods as well. For seafood and game I use the milder flavored alder.

Morning.

[Joe Black]

My cooking wood is oak.
For flavor I use apple for pork, cherry for poultry and pecan for beef.

[Springram]

Oak because it is plentiful here in Texas. Hickory for some extra flavoring perhaps at times. Fruit wood is good on poultry for me but I often use oak and find that it works very well on poultry too.

[T.Mac]

Cherry, Apple and Hickory so far. Sometimes I'll throw a little pecan into the mix sparingly.

[Kyle Hasty]

Pecan, hickory and cherry. I have never used peach but would like to try it out as well.

[Fwismoker]

It matters a little more with charcoal cooking... then I'd go Apple, Oak and Maple

Stick burning meh... what ever I pull out of my bbq blend pile which is a mix of cherry, oak, hickory and maple.

[SmittyJonz]

Whatever I can get. Splits - Last round it was Oak, this round it's PeeCan. Chunks I usually get Hickory and Mesquite.

the usual suspects are well represented in this poll...and I like standards....but I figured I'd throw a shout out to two common woods that most people don't seem to use, beech and mulberry are common and very good smoke woods...beech is kinda like oak but a tad milder and mulberry has a maple/fruitwood thing going on, mulberry is one of the highest btu woods in North America, higher than many oak species and it coals like a dream, beech also is pretty strong in the btu department.
