As a dobro player for a while now, I can say that for many of us maple is the preferred wood for bluegrass style dobro. While the majority of the sound comes from the cone, most maple guitars seem to have some extra brightness to cut through the mix in an all acoustic environment. It's subjective, but I prefer maple over all the others I have heard and played, with Koa being a close second.
