For a band I would go maple for bit more bright and louder tone to cut through the mix and ebony fretboards are so fast, smooth and wonderful. I was lucky to buy a rebuilt used RFB from Beard a few years back. It is biscuit design with the finish birch laminate. Most of the sound is from the reso itself really, but the wood does matter. I love the fishman nashville PU, really nice plugged in sound. Thinking you are looking at a spider cone design?
