Mesquite produces a strong smoke flavor. I use it exclusively for brisket. Hickory is probably the next strongest, then maple, then cherry, and last alder. Alder smoke is mild, which is why it's popular on fish.
It all depends on how much smoke you like. I personally like smoke, so I use fruit wood on fish. Heck, fruit wood from local orchards is great for any BBQ.
