Slate vs Granite vs Maple?

I'm thinking about having my carpenter custom make an audio rack for me. On the top TT shelf, which material do you recommend? I've read in other threads that some people prefer maple on top of granite, and still in others, just slate alone. Thanks.

Hmm, interesting... so since I have tubes, the best bet is probably granite. Maybe I'll try the combination. Rodman, thanks for the link to Corian, but I was under the impression that total non-resonance isn't necessarily good for TTs? I heard phenomenal things about Neuance shelves... are they out of business? I'd love to get one but I never see any on AG. How does Symposium compare with the Neuance?

A lot of great ideas here! Thanks, guys. Charlieboy's idea's intriguing, especially as it incorporates the granite slab within the maple box. I'll make sure to bounce these ideas off my carpenter. I guess no one's really a proponent of slate, though?
