I always prefer to use wood for basking spots. Rock heats up to hotter temperatures farther away, so even if the platform reads a proper temp, the radiant heat may not heat the monitor itself to that temp, due to the distance. In addition, wood basking platforms mean you can keep it closer to the lights, and hotter in terms of radiant heat. If you put a stone basking platform too close, it could turn into a frying pan due to the direct contact with a very hot surface.
