The choice for me is really two kinds of wood. 1" x 6 rough sawn white oak at $6 each, or PT 2x pine at something like $13 or $14 each.

I'm not going to a sawmill and pick out special wood like elm or bubinga or whatever.

The question is simply whether PT pine is worth TWICE the cost of 1" oak. I'm talking real 1"- more like 5/4 actually. My inclination is to go with the oak. My heaviest tractor that I'll haul on the trailer is a JD B and I also have a Ford 650. And, I'll be hauling logs from time to time, as I will be setting up a small sawmill at the new place.
