It's harder to see the treble strings on a pale maple fretboard! Rosewood will look better in 10 years' time; maple looks better now. Fret levelling and crowning jobs are cheaper for a rosewood board because it needs less protection (no lacquer to damage, and a bit of lemon oil makes it as good as new).
I like both.
