Good old traditional grey slate for me.

Tried and true grey slate. Crystal is my second favorite.

Slate over slate is my go to with a glass over slate being a close second.

I have a couple of each slate and so far green is my favorite. After that I would have to say crystal.

Cody Fatwood woodsman Green slate. My Cody 11 Grey  slate is even with it. I had Cody green monster from 1994  world class and spec 1 and the legend  My cheaper Cody's are equal if not better then the most expensive ones.

Never thought I would say this, but an aluminum/aluminum pot I have sounds fantastic in the woods(full, rich, vibrant) It plays soft or loud and has great tone. Over the years I have had 3 pots that the birds loved....a gray slate, a glass, and now this aluminum.

Green slate, but I'm a bit biased. It's quarried less than an hour from my house and my first job out of college was for a company that quarried and manufactured slate products.

Thus far, green slate.

But this will be my first season with a glass in my arsenal. It's striking to me how different the approach is—after being used to a slate, you just about feel you have to apply as little pressure as possible, but you still get big sound. With slate you at least get the feeling you can put into it what you want to get out, pressure/volume-wise. More intuitive control, in other words, which probably translates to more confidence.

To me, the "harder" surfaces like glass/aluminum generally have a much more "dramatic," punchy turnover in their sound. Stands out and reaches out, but that's not always what you want.

Agree about the harder surfaces, particularly aluminum. They seem sharper, "clearer "  than slate, which to me is softer and more mellow. I carry both.
