I'd get a very nice board made to my specs.
I already have some quality pieces so unless I step up to a quite expensive set of antique Jaques men or the HOS mammoth ivory ones there's no need to go for more pieces.
All the woods you mention are great but I prefer the classical ebony.
If you had 1500 bucks to spend on a chess set & board, which wood would you get for the dark pieces? Red sandalwood(a.k.a blood rosewood) Ebony or Rosewood? Would you splurge on the pieces or board, or keep em even? Gonna need a box for them as well.
