It depends on your location. In the here in the northeast we use spruce. Usually in the south they use Douglas fir.
A generic term is SPF (spruce-pine-fir). All of these woods have similar characteristics, and are largely interchangeable for construction purposes.
===========================
Douglas Fir is stronger than SPF category.
In the southeast we do not use Douglas Fir. We use Southern Yellow Pine for horizontal members. SPF is usually used for studs.
