pork pie makes some sexy snares fer' sure. If you want ringy I'd say metal...if you want pop, I'd say wood. I personally like the sound of wood over metal. It has a sexier ring when it comes to rimshots...a deeper one I guess that just..lol, iono how to explain but I like its sound.
But like with most drum stuff, just go to local shops and hit stuff it's the only way you'll be able to make the right purchase.
