Er, i have only just realised that some people talk about Driftwood, then some about Bogwood, whats the difference and what's better to use, i get my new 55 gallon tommorow :)
 
The type of wood, mostly. Driftwood tends tobe less dense, and a solid color, while bogwood and mopani wood is denser, and more marbled coloration. Both leach tannins into the tank, but the denser woods are not as favorable for plecos that need wood in their diet.
