Need to replace my boom. What's good wood?

This is a 17' "Whitehall-like" boat. The mast and boom are wood. The boom is 8' long and completly rotten. It has a T rail hanging on a few rusty screws. I'd like to build a replacement. What's good? Solid wood? laminated hardwoods? Re-cycled milk jug material?
