I do prefer wood over rock. Although I really admire the Iguami style aquascapes. I guess one reason is that nice wood is more easily come by then nice rock around here. Even when wood is used as a hardscape it eventually gets covered with the attached plants & is no longer visable, like with my current 50G tank. I think with my next scape I'm going to try Mopani wood with no attached plants. Hopefully with good results! I do however like using local collected peebles around the edges of plants, like a border.
