Apple is what I prefer to use as well.  Hickory is second choice.
 
Apple, Hickory, Cherry, Pecan..... never tried pecan but everybody else on here loves the heck out of it so I will be getting some. I did my last one with mostly apple and a little hickory for the last few hours and it was awesome. I actually froze most of it for superbowl weekend.
 
If apple is your favorite then that's what you should use. I happen to really like pecan, as I feel like it falls right in the sweet spot of what I like. Apple is a little light for pulled pork, and hickory is a little too strong. I also really like cherry on things like pork loin and chicken, but I feel like it kinda gets lost on pulled pork.
