Anything is better than crockpot pulled pork.

Any of them would be great. I'm slightly partial to Apple, but really enjoy the other two as well.

Comes down to personal preference ... So, apple or cherry, or a mix of both ....

However, never tried peach, but would love to give it a go with smoking a butt for pulled pork.

I've always been a fan of mesquite, it packs a powerful punch so not much is needed. I see you don't have that on hand but you should give it a try sometime.

Pecan has helped me win a 1st and most recently a 2nd in pork at the World Championships.

Personally I like and use both cherry and apple together. About 50/50. Great flavor and not over powering.

I use apple, cherry, pecan or hickory... never had the opportunity to try peach. Sounds interesting.
Multiple kettles and WSM's. I am not a collector, just a gatherer... and a sick bastard.

I personally prefer 1 hickory on 2 cherry

As far as I see nobody mentioned the  plum. It goes really good with pork.

It's a regional thing. Up here in Washington State we'd be fools to not utilize the apple, cherry and apricot prunings that come out of the orchards. Fortunately, apple and cherry are excellent for pork and poultry. Cherry will give you a little more color than apple, so use it judiciously. I haven't used much apricot, but have liked what I've used. I'd like to try peach one day, but that's a southern thing that doesn't grow up here.
I pruned a neighbor's mulberry tree last year hoping to get to use the prunings for BBQ. Unfortunately, the thing was full of worms so I won't cook with it. I will say this, that mulberry was about the hardest, most dense wood I've seen grow around here. The sound from knocking two limbs together reminded me of the Brazilian rosewood used in xylophones. Seriously dense stuff that takes a long time to cure and would probably burn for a good long while in a smoker.
