I like hickory or mesquite chunks or Amazen pellets myself.  Your smoke/cook time is shortened because you're only going to 125° - 135° so I find I like a more flavorful wood vs milder.

I personally love mesquite with beef, the just plain go together like Peanut Butter, Bacon, and Bananas... (just ask Elvis!)

There is a new product from A-MAZE-N called the tube smoker. It is supposed to work better with propane smokers at higher temps. I haven't tried it yet but others have.
