I've seen a few boards outside, and as long as the holds aren't directly in contact with rain, most wood tends to hold up ok for a few years. That said, a proper fine grained hard wood such as oak would hold up really well, and handle moisture a lot better than say ash or beech and especially poplar which is crap. It just so happens I've a load of oak in my store that I could do with moving along... so I could do a good deal on some holds with it if you were interested..
Most of the pinches on my board are Crusher though. Harder and smoother wood in basic shapes - very regular in a graduated range of sizes - so good for systems boards and being able to tweak the exact degree of pinchiness you want to work. They're shown below (along with some big LXGrips edges):

(the only system-board style holds I've seen in France are made by woodpecker and only come in one size. Ridiculously overpriced as well)
I think I'd stick to a known manufacturer rather than random Amazon ones...Core do some good sets of screw-ons
but it's hard to know whether they'd be suitable for that angle.
