In my area of New York, the only honey locusts around that I've seen were planted and not native. Easy to tell since most varieties of honey locust have no thorns. We have black locust all over, mainly because they will grow in almost any soil. I ususally don't use black locust simply because of all the big thorns. Note that there are over 20 different types of black locust (cultivars) around the country.
Black locust's rot resistance varies depending on what time of year it is cut. It has more natural toxins that protect it when growing buds.
Believe it or not, our Federal government did a fence-post rot study in 1975, with just about every tree known to grow in the USA. Lots of info there.
In my area of New York, "ironwood" is usually the #2 choice for fenceposts. Sometimes called hornbean (or something like that). Grows all over and no thorns. White oak, cedar, and tamarack is also commonly used in areas where it's available. Very little here.
