Forget about looking "right". What's right to you may not be right for me or an interior designer. Keep this in mind, the wider the board, the more likely it is to warp. I say to keep it small. I like 1 1/2" wide traditional width. Do you see basketball court with the wide stuff? I am not sure if they use the wide boards, because I don't go to basketball games. Next time have a look at a wide floor. You are certain to see waves from a little of cupping on a wide plank floor compare to a 1 1/2" flooring.

Good thing about Maple is that it is a stable lumber.
