Mesquite
Hickory
White Oak
Of the choices given, that's my order from strongest to mildest.
I typically feel Mesquite is too strong and bitter, but I'm in Missouri, so it's not that common... we do have lots of Hickory and many varieties of Oak.
My preferences run sweeter and milder, usually oak mixed with apple, cherry, or peach. Pecan is my favorite when I can find it.

Thanks for the responses everyone. I WIN!!! Argument settled.
I should have mentioned that we were talking about all wood types being equally seasoned.
My order was Mesquite, Hickory and then white oak. Another buddy was H,M,O which isn’t that big of argument but the 3rd buddy was insistent on white oak being the strongest. That’s when the arguing started.
He’s a stubborn SOB so this might turn into a cook off of some sort to further prove him wrong.
Thanks.

It's all up to taste and that cannot be disputed. To each his/he own taste.

There is a big difference in mesquite in regards to north or south of San Antonio in Texas. The difference is regarding the amount of water it takes for the tree to survive the living environment. Mesquite can survive either wet or very arid environments. The arid areas have much more creosote type oils in it to help survive. I’m sure the other woods are similar. South Texas mesquite and post oak is really good for smoking because of lower amounts of the long chain molecules it takes to survive.

I agree with the order MHO as most do BUT I will say some people are wired very differently!
A quick article that touches on some differences:

Mesquite is only good when it's used on steaks hot and fast, I'll throw a chunk in while the coals are glowing.
Hickory is blah. Too strong. I have about 20-30 hickory trees on my property and the smell reminds me of burn piles at this point.
For smoking oak, pecan (personal favorite), apple (personal favorite fruit wood). I got on a peach kick a few years back but it's pretty fruity. Ribs are about the only thing I could do with peach.
