Jim do you know about greenheart and how it compares with cocobolo
for splitting? (I don't know, I want to know which one splits less)

Greenheart is another name that is used for more than one species. Check
to be sure what you're getting. I have even heard ipe called greenheart.
Anyway, the main species I think is ocotea rodiaei. I have never worked
with it, so I can't compare it to cocobolo, but the specs on the FPL
website are impressive. Looks like it would make great outdoor furniture,
among other things.
