I've always stuck to the 1 year rule. Since I scrap and cut/split my own wood I tend to favor oak and maple. Beech and birch will work too, but beech seems to never completely dry in a year and birch burns fast and hot so if I have any of that I will mix it. Another down side to birch, it doesn't store well beyond a year as it rots quickly.
