What about AB and RW are you looking for opinions on? AB on one guitar may sound like BR on another, and visa versa. Both are dense, reflective backwoods. I owned a 00 guitar with a terrific AB back and sides, but I could not apply any specific aspect of tone to that fact as I had an otherwise identical 00 made of Australian Blackwood (acacia/koa family) from the same builder that sounded almost identical. Both had adi tops in common.

I would make the decision on which you are most attracted to and go with that.
