Is there a particular maker better at pool cues?

[whufcarl]

I dont want to start another "whos the best" thread, so please lets not turn it into one!
My question is simply, is there one maker who is particularly good at 8 ball cues?
I already have a TW cue on order for snooker, dont care about who makes what for snooker in this thread.
Im hoping for some real good 8 ball players to offer advice on this one.
And as a sub-topic if u like, is maple better for pool or same principles apply as they do for snooker cues?

To me, if the cue maker is able to make you a good snooker cue, then he is able to make you a good pool cue.
