I use wood more often than not but I use easily washable plastic ones for meat products (chicken, beef, etc).

I use glass. I don't like the noise but it's the only thing I feel like I can get clean.

I have a plastic one for meats and seafoods a wooden one for most things and another plastic ones for things like onions, garlic, and other foods that stain or have strong odors.

Wood/Bamboo but we have some plastic ones too. I just got DH a new set of plastic with rubber feet for christmas. Costco had them for like $15.

I have some small plastic ones from Pampered Chef that I mainly use. Kitchen space is at a premium, so I don't always have a spot to leave my wooden one to dry.

My favorite is one that came with my cutco knives. It's some type of plastic that won't dull the knives.
But we have a section of butcher block by the stove and we lazily cut directly on it most of the time.

I have wood for everything but raw chicken and beef - for that I use a plastic dishwasher safe one.
I also have four flexible plastic ones that I got during our cross country move really cheap at Target (all the cutting boards were packed up 1400 miles away!) I don't use them as cutting boards now that my other things have arrived, but they come in handy for transporting large amounts of chopped veggies from the counter to the stove. Then I bend the board and tip them into the pan without spilling/splashing/burning myself!

I used wood only. I wash it down with vinegar after I cut raw meat on it though.

I only like using the plastic ones with the rubber on the edges! Hello dishwasher!!
I have 2 wood ones that I have, but I never use them. They look nice, but they aren't any different use wise than the plastic, other than you need to hand wash them. Boo!

@mediagirl: same as you! I hate using wood for meats and will tell anyone food prepping at our house to use the plastic one for meats.
