The answer may vary depending on who you ask, but it all depends on what you do. Some people swear by aluminum bats, saying that because they can swing faster, the ball will go further. Other people, including me, prefer a wooden bat. With wooden bats, you have to put a bit of oomph behind the swing, but it still can go just as far as aluminum.
This question is very common based on the fact that major leaguers use wood, not aluminum. The reason why this is is because aluminum bats make the ball come off faster than with wood, and the players need every milisecond to react to the ball.

corking makes the bat lighter so you can swing it faster therefore generating greater speed at the point of impact with the ball, transferring more speed to the ball as it leaves the bat, causing the ball to fly further (provided you don't break the bat and look like a fool - corking a bat weakens the bat as well as making it lighter).
