In general, white oak is a little bit heavier (30 - 40g) than red oak. In addition, white oak is more solid than red one. So if you practice kata with contact, it is better to use white one.
These bokken are made from Japanese oak in Kyushu (the southern part of Japan ) by NIIDOME Bokuto Craft Company at Miyakonojo in Kyushu. Miyakonojo accounted for more than 80 % of market of bokken in Japan. This company keeps the traditional way of manufacture, such as drying the materials (wood) naturally not to destroy the fibers of oak; that makes our bokken more durable and robust. You can use them for a long time. NIIDOME Company uses the materials which come from a tree about 70 years old.
