Brazilian is considered the holy grail of b/s woods but is many times the prices of the other rosewoods. In brief, relative to sustain and overtones, in order from most to least: Braz, madagascar, coco, indian. The coco and mada ranking is really a toss up, and these differences can easily be swamped out by the effect of the top wood and how it is voiced.
