In my experience wood is the best and I carry a variety of lengths and widths, this comes in very handy. The wood is not that heavy and has some very important benefits over the plastic ones.
(I definitely would NOT use RR ties. They are too heavy to handle and are soaked with creosote.)
The first is that wood will "conform" itself because of it;s softness to the surfaces of Dirt, gravel, mud, asphalt etc. this provided a much better "grip" on the ground. The plastic to me are cheap, too easily broken and cannot be easily turned into a ramp to level my trailer as I can with my wood pieces.
The actual weight difference is not an issue unless you are drastically overweight to begin with.
