Totally HATE maple unless the finish is completely worn off and has wear into the wood itself. Also detest Gibson's crappy Richlite crap. Love ebony, rosewood. Macassar ebony is my fav.

What's wrong with Richlite? I was thinking of getting a strat neck made with a richlite fingerboard- I want a smooth, black fingerboard and most of the ebony you see now is insanely expensive and has ugly tan streaks through it.

I've made some countertops out of Paperstone, which I believe is the same as Richlite. A very hard material, will buff to a nice shine if you're into that. A friend of mine used it for a fretboard on a resonator he built. Looks great, nothing bad to report about it. Seems like it'd be a good alternative for a fretboard.
