I have made a lot of hobby projects, and found white pine easy to work with, takes stain nicely, and paints well, too. And it is the least expensive wood to experiment on while you are learning to use your new tools. Personally, I like white pine best.

Definitely cheaper, even if you opt for the #1 select (suggested if the piece is to be stained). If you're skills are good and you expect the piece to turn out well, red oak is nice. A sort of middle ground is poplar - stains nicer than pine, and not as hard as oak. A lot of furniture is made of poplar, and its what I choose fairly often. Also, stocking up is not always the best idea. Do you know where you'll store it. Depending on where you live, sheds and basements can be humid and damp, and the wood can warp if it sits too long.

You are building a deck, and want to know the strongest wood. The framing of the deck (the posts, beams, floor joists) should be built using treated yellow pine (ACQ treated lumber). Everyone else here is giving you their opinion on the decking material to use. There are many choices of decking, but the strongest and most affordable is still treated deck boards (also ACQ treated yellow pine, in 5/4 x 6 inch eased edge boards). If you can afford to use a composite, that's fine. You will spend $350 - $400 on the treated framework of you deck. You will need 240 sq. ft. (44 each 12' pieces of 5/4x6 material) for your decking. This will range from $450 to $1,400 (yes, $1,400) depending on what type of decking you choose. Nobody reads the question before responding.
