Hello! Ive tried all 7 cutting board materials and shortlisted the following!
As someone who values cleanliness & hygiene, I gravitate towards 1 and 3, but I also like number 2 cuz its aesthetically pleasing for my kitchen 😛
I put number 4 because this material is a popular choice for homeowners. You can have a look and decide!

Good on wood side | Clear separation of raw and cooked sides. Steel does not absorb bacteria | Stainless steel dulls knives fast.
