Need to know difference in willow, birch, mesquite & alder wood for building outdoor furniture.?

Would like to build bentwood furniture. I need some pieces to be flexible so that they can be curved. Will these curved pieces crack and break easily as they cure and dry? I know that willow is ideal, but does anyone know if mesquite will work for this type of project?
