Rosewood or Maple?
Discussion
Maple = brighter sound and slightly faster due to the gloss finish.
Rosewood = not quite so fast but a more mellow sound.
So the choice is yours - try both if you can and see which appeals to you more.
Or just buy one of each like I did!

Go to your local friendly shop, sit down with both guitars / necks and play both, choose the one that feels nicest to your hands and buy that one ...
edited to add, and often you'll end up buying a different guitar to the one you thought you'd buy before you walked in there !

I can never decide which i like better, so have ended up with a collection consisting of both. Tbh, neither makes much difference to me in terms of sound or playability, and many times I have just gone on the aesthetics of the axe under consideration - some just seem to suit maplewood better
