I have also heard very good things about the Sitka Spruce and have only made one set that I was very happy with. Either that or POC are your best choice and you will not go wrong with either one.

For the last number of years I have been using Sitka Spruce.  The weight is comparable to POC  but it is stronger.  Spruce has one of the highest strength to weight ratio of any woods (thus the reason it was so extensively used in building airplanes).

>From a craftsmans standpoint I find that spruce is harder to hand straighten than POC  but once you get it straight  it seems to stay straight longer and takes more abuse than POC.  I also think it takes stains and dyes better than POC.  Of course it doesn't smell as nice when you are grinding the tapers as POC does.
