Help - Maple or Ash Paddle

Hi everyone. I am new here - just found the website today. I am going to purchase a paddle (hairbrush shaped) for my Dom. I forwarded him several links and let him choose the type/style. He picked the kind he wants but they come in Maple or Ash - he told me to pick whichever one I thought he would like best. Can anyone tell me their preferences/comments/advice on which one to choose?

Thank you!
