I'm a wood-worker and I enjoy working with different types of woods. I have a book titled "Useful Woods of the World" by James H. Flynn. It contains 279 differnt species of woods, and acknowledges that there are even more.
I can suggest you visit this site http://www.woodcollectors.org which is a website for the International Wood Collectors Society.
As far as different way to treat wood, I'm not really sure how you mean that, whether it be preserving it, sealing it, staining, etc.

Cedar is a good choice although the quality has gone down in recent years due to the price pressure from big box stores like Home Depot. High quality cedar is quite expensive but very durable. I build a lot of decks and try not to use tight knotted cedar because inevitably you will get variations in quality and color that sometimes can be quite drastic and ugly. As for exotic hardwoods yes they are an excellent choice but to agree with the other poster you must be careful with where they come from. I do not believe that any Mahogany foresting is sustainable due to the 3rd world country's that own these forests and their sometimes less than honest sustainable designations. If you are having trouble affording the material of your choice might I suggest building the deck on multiple levels stepping down as you get farther from the house. That way you can build the first section smaller than the eventual size and add on as budget permits. At least that way you can get the material you want and eventually have the surface area you desire.

cedar or redwood is the absolute best natural wood to use (if you don't want composite)
