Strat Maple

whats the difference between maple and rosewood fretboards on a strat?
aesthetically i like the maple better, but are there any playing advantages when you use the rosewood?
Maple is a harder wood than rosewood. If you bend strings a lot, or even if you play certain positions a lot, you can wear indentations into the fretboard. If they get deep enough, at some point the intonation will be off because the distance from the string to the fretboard will be increased. This happened with my acoustic guitar. In the end, it just couldn't play in tune anymore without getting a new fingerboard.
Ebony is harder than rosewood also, which is why higher end guitars have ebony. Maple should wear better than rosewood.
