Plastic/rubber boards with cuts and gouges are less hygienic than a wooden board with the same.
Only in specific circumstances. If they are both regularly cleaned regularly and well, plastics are far more hygienic.
Don’t the properties of wood mean that it absorbs/wicks away moisture, even in deeper gouges making it less hospitable for bacteria?
That said, I rarely use my wooden chopping board for meat and fish.
I get more paranoid about cuts in the plastic/rubber boards than the wood ones though.
