Default Best for basking?

What is best for basking, logs or stone/slate?

I don't know for sure. I have slate which is half in the basking area but both my torts bask just on the soil and slate in equal amounts I'd say.

Edit> I wouldn't have thought logs

from the pictures I've seen it looks like they bask on logs in ponds?

Just wondering if logs would be more natural for them

I use a big bit of cork bark wedged in my tank.
It cost about £25 from my local aquarium shop but it looks really natural and doesn't block up any swimming space
