Good necks for a chambered strat?

I'm almost ready to order a chambered mahogany strat body, but I'm still wondering about what neck woods I should use. I would prefer the neck with just exotic woods. The strat's also going to have two humbuckers instead of single coil pickups.

wenge and ebony or goncalo alves and pau ferro
I was thinking about the goncalo alves neck with a pau ferro fretboard also. Does anyone have this type of a neck?
 
Just to tell everyone, the body has been changed to a chambered alder body. I would think that the neck should still be the same, but I don't know what you guys think. Thanks for all your help!

I do!  I love it.  The goncalo feels really smooth.  Slickest neck I have.  Pau Ferro is my favorite fretboard wood, it looks killer, and it seems hard as nails to me, but still feels woody.  The guitar I have this on is rather middy, but as everyone will tell you, there are more variables than just the neck at work there.  Good luck with the build!
