Best material for an isolation platform?

I have an extra set of IsoAcoustics Gaia 2 isolation feet sitting around...I'm going build a platform for my integrated amp or transport. I have an oak shelf that would fit well 18x20x1.75. I could just as easily use MDF. Does the oak have any sonic drawbacks?
 Any thoughts?

The CLD sounds like it could be very good. I can endorse slate as I use it on a plinth. Aluminum with Panzerholz is also top tier.

I found oak to be not great under my turntable. Maple is better. I also found granite to be poor.
