What fence is best for privacy: wood or vinyl?

Both are great for privacy. Wood privacy fences are a popular choice for a classic look and custom designs. Vinyl privacy fences are modern, durable, and low maintenance (no painting or staining). If you want the strongest long-term option with minimal upkeep, vinyl is usually the best choice.
