I would say Locust because I do not have any experience with hickory.
Locust burns long hot and coals nice too.

It might depend on the price. For example, I would be surprised if they asked the same price for cherry as they did for locust or hickory.
Never had hickory or apple so I guess I'll just settle for locust. Tongue in cheek on the "settle for locust".
i really like to mix it up and MO is a good area to do that. Blackjack oak dries fast and gets the fire going, seems
like it burns up a little quick though. Hickory, White or Red Oak, maybe just a little underseasoned to lay on top
of the blackjack. Oh.. and give me them round top pieces, i'll take those over splits.

Locust, hands down. Burns hot, long, doesn't rot grows like weeds around here, can readily be burned green (though like any wood, seasoned produces more heat).
I have both red and white oak that has rotted from improper storage, but locust form the bottom of the same piles is still fine.
