If you can find black locust, it will last forever. Otherwise, cypress, white oak (NOT red), cedar are good domestics. Ipe, as mentioned, is a great exotic. There was an article in FWW, IIRC, that listed the various woods in order of outdoor longevity not too long ago. Also, you might find this article of interest. HTH
