Default Blocks for bandsaws

I have seen cool blocks recommended here many time.

A book I got from the library said that steel blocks are badly unrated.
Heat is not a problem; the only reason not to use them is that they will not
support a really small blade properly without risking damage to the teeth.
Then he recommends maple blocks; they wear out faster than cool blocks, but
are free.

Also, I have seen a composite block on ebay that claims it is better than
cool blocks. Anyone tried it?
