Yes, I pointed out earlier in the thread there is not much to choose between logs of the same moisture content, though the bulk can be pertinent. Certain species are slower to dry though, try taking cut and split oak and sycamore into a dry room and note the rate of weight loss.
Matches are made from aspen, but wax is added to sustain combustion and one, I believe the UK's biggest, supplier of kindling, uses oven dried poplar
