Rosewood provides me more "grip" on the neck when I bend strings. I like having to "tug" more. I like rosewood for that.

Maple is a bit more " slippery" as some have said. Heavier gauges make this
less of a phenomena.

Maple fingerboards add to the "brightness" of the tone.

Both are good and a matter of reference. Cosmetically I love the look of a birds eye maple neck on a Strat!
