If you want "the best" you want an end grain cutting board such as this (I do not have this one but do have a Boos block.)
Keep the thing in the best shape by rubbing a little plain mineral oil into it periodically. You can scrub it down with a stainless steel or copper scouring thingy when you need to, or go at it with sandpaper if things get really out of whack.
The end grain ones are the best because they offer a little more "give" to the knife, keeping it from going dull as quickly, but the board will also "heal" well.
I don't have a Boos block, but I do have a 16x22x2" thick end grain block that's more or less equivalent to this thing.
It cost about twice as much as the Boos block but I regret nothing. It's stays out on my counter at all times and I cut everything on it. It gets scraped clean, wiped with a soapy towel after use, and occasionally treated with a mixture of beeswax and mineral oil. I'd recommend buying as big of a board as you can keep around. Having extra room to work is worth it.
If you want a cheaper alternative, the chinese log slice linked by /u/wwjbrickd works perfectly fine and is just as good as an end grain block with the exception of being much smaller.
For reference, this is the board I have: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00CRUDO0Y/ref=psdc_289863_t2_B000P7DMYE?th=1
Strange that such a thick board could warp.
Complicated question, and also not relevant, but I'll answer anyway.
No, I don't see any reason why they should be registered. There is no legitimate reason why anyone needs to know that my brother-in-law in Oregon owns a handful of hunting rifles that he uses to protect his livestock from coyotes and to hunt game when the state makes tags available. He is a law-abiding citizen who has committed no crime. His purchase of a firearm is no different than his purchase of a tractor, or a case of Coors Light, or a John Boos Reversible End Grain Maple Chopping Block. So if we're in a world where gun ownership is Constitutionally protected (and we are), I prefer the Constitutional Carry laws of a state like Vermont, where the state does not regulate possession, ownership, transfer, carrying, registration or licensing. Vermont has the least restrictive gun laws in the nation, and also has one of the lowest rates of gun crime. It's not ownership that causes problems, it's malicious intent.
If you want to discuss whether or not criminals should be registered, and their possession of firearms restricted, than yes, I believe that should be the case. This is because society has a legitimate interest in protecting its citizens from criminals. It would be great if we could identify criminals before they commit crimes, but until we perfect the technology from Minority Report, I think we should stick to the precept that individuals are innocent until they have been proven guilty.
As to why the question is irrelevant, gun ownership is a choice, mutation is not. If a potential gun owner doesn't want to be registered, they can choose not to purchase a gun. If a mutant doesn't want to be registered, they have no choice. This is mandating behavior based on birth traits. History shows us that this is not a path anyone should go down, yet we continue to do it, to our own detriment.
