I've used both. In fact in my tank right now my beardie has a cinderblock and a log to bask on. I have a digital thermometer with a probe and the probe says that the surface of the wood is 115degrees. I could see why rock could be considered better because they do heat up qwuicker and maybe even hotter, but as long as you have good lighting, wood will heat up just fine as well
