For woods anyway...

1) Toughest (As in resistant to breaking on a hard impact?) - Hickory or maple

2) Most accurate - Properly selected, straight grained, and closely matched cedar, fir, or larch

3) Most durable (As in resistant to nicks and dings over time?) - Hickory or maple again

4) Pulls best - Any woodie sealed with laquer

5) Pulls worst - Any woodie sealed with shellac, with oil based polyurethanes not far behind
