Generally speaking, mahogany will be have a little shorter note decay than rosewood, which will tend to ring a little longer. Most vocalists do not want to use a guitar that hangs on to a note so long that it steps on their vocal stylings.
Having said that, there are some mahogany guitars I have owned that held onto a note as long as any rosewood guitar. It all depends on wood, design and builder.
And, for that matter, depending on the song, I love to use my rosewood dread for vocal accompanyment.
