wood is a lot easier, and less expensive. If done properly with epoxy, it will last indefinitely. Foam core takes a lot more time to do properly (inserts, transitions, etc) and it wont save very much weight over wood. So basically, it adds time and money with very little or no payoff to me if I keep the boat. BUT if I were to sell it, fighting the common perception of "no wood" is not a crusade I want to spend time on
Even if it will be a person boat, I would still use some foam core or honey comb in areas where the payoff to work/cost is worthwhile - maybe the transom.
Have to find a good hull first
