Not really sure,different people use different ones.
I always use No-Nails and have never had problem.
Silicone is best for that.
I already have a hot glue gun (high temp) w/ glue sticks, so that would be ideal for me ... It's by far the best wood glue I've ever used.
Epoxy is best for gluing glass to wood.
Any white glue.
Carpenter's Yellow glue, an improvement of white glue, is the best for wood to wood .I use Titebond ll and it's extremely good.
Elmers GlueANS 2 Carpenters yellow glue is vastly better than Elmer's glue on wood.
Standard yellow wood glue (PVA glue) is the best TYPE of wood glue. Type 1 PVA - or waterproof PVA glue - should be used when any water exposure is possible, and on some woods is stronger than standard PVA wood glue. Most important is a tight fit and clamping. The brand of glue is not as important as the type.
Many companies make "wood glue", specifically to be used on wood projects. Buy a good brand, such as Elmer's Wood Glue.
None of those are ideal . The best wood glue by far is Titebond lll and it's not too pricy.

Yellow carpenter's glue is best for sticking wood together.
Any wood glue is fine and will be stronger than the wood it's self when done correctly. Titebond is excellent, and is also available in a waterproof version (Titebond3), as well. Keep everything clean, clamp the joint, firmly without crushing the material, and don't expect end grain, to glue up strong, no matter the species of wood. Research how to glue up wood if you don't know, it takes more than good glue to make a good joint, in wood. PS wipe up your glue squeeze out, with a damp rag.
