This question has as many answers as there are drummers. It all depends on the sound you are looking for. Popular woods are basswood, maple & birch - with some high end snares being made of bubinga. Steel snares are probably the most rugged of the line. Acrylic snares are strong as well. The type of wood used determines the subtleness or attack of the sound. Basswood (like alder) is a softer wood with good attack. Many entry level drum kits are made of this wood. Maple & birch have good attack, and a crisper sound. They're also stronger than basswood. But like I said, play em all and decide which sound YOU like.

Drums used to be made out of wood and dries animal skins. Now they are made from metal, plastics and the "skin" is synthetic or man made. Many snare drums are made from wood. Maple and birch are the most common woods. Yamaha has an oak snare that's good. The heads on a snare are, today, almost always made of mylar. You can get heads made from animal skin, but most drummers play mylar. As for the snares...some snares are made from (synthetic) gut, but most are made of wire.
