I use cherry chips in most everything. I certainly can't hurt it. I guess I'm not the best one to tell you, because I tend to mix wood as I smoke. Never had anything turn out bad though
The wood I get in my area is a cut of both Oak and Cherry. From what I have seen cherry and oak are both great for beef and so far have worked very well.
