Don't waste your time.
This is a very curious answer.
Maple, cherry, and walnut are the traditional woods used for cutting boards. At least in America.
Personally, I've always preferred black walnut. It does a nice job of hiding stains. It's kind of in the "Goldilocks" zone where it's not too soft, but not too hard for your knives (but this applies to Cherry and specific Maple species). But it's very easy to tell when you need to hit it with some mineral oil as the board dulls.
Cherry and Maple have their own individual pros and cons, and different woodworkers and cooks/chefs will have their own tastes and preferences.
There really, truly, is no "correct" wood species for cutting boards. But if there was, it absolutely would not be Hickory or Oak.
Hickory specifically is pretty brutal on knives. It's much more difficult for the average home cook to deal with seasonal humidity (and kitchen humidity changes if it's not well-oiled) changes that will inevitably cause glue joints to fail and potentially the wood to crack. Depends a lot on the size of the board, really.
At this price range (and likely level of home cook), teak and acacia are perfectly acceptable options to consider as well.
Bamboo is terrible for your knife edge due to the silica content and the amount of adhesive used in the board creation.
End grain is the top tier board style but edge grain can normally be had for cheaper.
Can always check Facebook marketplace to see if you have a cutting board maker near you where you can normally get decent prices.

This 3 piece bamboo cutting board set stands out for the low price and the extra rubber anti slip mat, with the medium and large boards getting the most use for meat and vegetables. The smallest board is very small, and the juice grooves and back cutouts make the surfaces less flat than some would prefer. Durability is the main concern, since some boards have split, warped, or shed finish after getting wet, while others have held up fine even in the dishwasher. It is a compact budget set with a few practical extras.

Either we didn't get the mat or didn't know what it was and threw it out,
Alternatively, a piece of non-adhesive rubber shelf liner would work great and a roll is pretty cheap. If it ever got gunked up you can just cut another piece. They do make silicone feet for boards too, or you can just use a damp washcloth or small towel.
So no glue and paper itself is made from....wood. When is wood not natural?
Also Per Google "Yes, almost all bamboo cutting boards contain glue. Because bamboo is a narrow grass, it must be laminated using high pressure and industrial adhesives to form a wide, thick cutting board. While most manufacturers utilize food-safe, formaldehyde-free glues, cheaper imported boards may occasionally contain toxic resins"
I guess people can gamble with their life and health by getting a cheap, glued, bamboo cutting board.
Per the Google "Epicurean cutting boards do not use conventional liquid glues or adhesives; instead, they are made from a wood-fiber and paper composite bound together by a fully cured phenolic resin. This cured resin is certified as food-safe and non-toxic".

I guess people can gamble with their life and health by getting a cheap, glued, bamboo cutting board.
However, I think that rather than using a piece of material that's been crushed into fine particles and then glued back together using so-called "safe" levels of adhesive, it would be better to evaluate a large piece of wood or bamboo using safe adhesives.
Even with adhesives, there are safety standards, and they would have to exceed those standards to pose a health risk. Adhesives that meet safety standards will, even if they release formaldehyde, be excreted from the body through metabolism—but microplastics or micro-resins won't. Resin is also a type of plastic.
