Wooden boards have been used by people for hundreds and hundreds of years. High quality wooden boards can be heirlooms passed down from generation to generation.
While you should certainly throw away an old plastic cutting board that has knife cuts all over it, you can plane down a thick wooden cutting board and be good to go for years to come. Wood is considered a “warm” material, and having a wooden cutting board on display in your kitchen can enhance the feeling of warmth and welcome and give even a modern kitchen a hint of rustic charm.

A bit sidetrack here but regardless of plastic or wooden boards, it is best to have a board for raw meat and a separate one for vegetables and fruits. Even if you wash the board after cutting meat, it's not possible to clean it completely and the raw meat particles may attach to the uncooked fruits and give you stomach problems.

Plastic are used in commercial kitchens so they can be colour coded for meat, veg, poultry, fish, etc. Wood is more hygienic if you don’t get things mixed up in a busy working kitchen – but that’s unlikely!
Ceramic is a crime against decent knives.
