I don't think it makes much difference. I do either the matchsticks or a bit of soft/hard wood depending on what's to hand. I usually have a few dead matches in the bottom of a toolbox for this purpose.
I guess there's a case to be made for hardwood being stronger than the surrounding wood it might cause it to bulge when you put the screw in.

Cheers. Is there any benefit to whittling a scrap of hardwood to fit and glue?
Hoping that once it's all together there will be less stress on the hinges since the edge of the door will be supported.
