Some woods burn hot and fast and others burn slow. My favorite combination for brisket is a 50/50 mix of mesquite and white oak. The mesquite gives a lot of strong smoke in the beginning and white oak is great for long smokes. This wood combination gives a killer flavor to brisket. I have found that white oak is a great mellowing wood, which is good for a strong wood like mesquite.

There is a difference between red oak and white oak. Both are good and I would consider them medium in smoke, but red oak is stronger than white oak.
