Whales, hands down (SP 1x). In addition to early trade and contribution to all needed areas (food, arrows, shields), it can't be hijacked by encroaching barbs etc.

Whales. Instant bang for the buck.
The other ones seem to require a little leg work to get going."Perhaps a new spirit is rising among us. If it is, let us trace its movements and pray that our own inner being may be sensitive to its guidance, for we are deeply in need of a new way beyond the darkness that seems so close around us." --MLK Jr.Comment

it still depends on the situation...no whales around but some other trade close by...give me pheasant and peat/iron/buffalo...
early its important to crank....one can hopefully find trade....Boston Red Sox are 2004 World Series Champions!Comment

Whenever I do that, I usually just find more pheasants, peat, iron and buffalos.

Sounds like you are stuck in a "band" of all the same type (fish-special under the land). Bands run east-west, so go north or south 6-10 tiles and you will get into another "band", which should be of the opposite type (whale-special).Comment

Yeah, when fish is the best I can do as a trade special, it's going to be a long night. Especially if you're listening to someone talk about all the gold, wine, silk, and whales that they just uncovered. HINT HINT.

SILK is best! What's the matter with you morons? 
Whales are cool, and of course Gold is uh… golden. They get my vote, too; but all roads lead to silk, as it were. Silk is what you're looking for if you mine a grasslands looking for hidden specials. Wheat is only good for mining into Silk.
Wine, Oasis, Ivory & Spice are too rare to count as favorites—excellent if they can be placed in a city radius. Pheasant/Buffalo and the shield specials are marginally worth locating for, but anything else is subordinate if a good site places the special outside the radius.(\__/) Save a bunny, eat more Smurf!

I started an MP game the other night and had TWO rivered silk in the opening screen. Two cities down quickly. My first searching warriors found two more silks only a few squares away. All four of my first cities were built on silk. Made for a very nice game.It's almost as if all his overconfident, absolutist assertions were spoonfed to him by a trusted website or subreddit.

No, I can actually say that I didn't even use my typical *sigh*, I even got a free city reasonably early followed by a nomad. I didn't want to say a word. I was also on one side of the world why the other two shared the other side. Kept under the radar, and kicked butt in terms of growth techs and trade.

Not really, silk had 9 and gold had 10. In a poll this size, I would say that's not significantly different.
So your attempt to state the obvious and get a free +1 failed. But why am I not surprised.
