You are right about the grain and stregnth, but from what everybody for years 
has been telling me (see Charles Haggart "white oak" message), no good on the 
rot. And, although it's better than green oak or pin oak for fiberglassing, 
it shares with all oak a certain acid which eventually de-bonds fiberglassing.
