Was it because:

  * Shadow Clones can't perform Susano'o, but Wood Clones can?

  * Wood Clones are stronger/better than Shadow Clones?

  * Madara couldn't perform the Shadow Clone Technique?

  * Of any other reason not mentioned above?

Why did Madara use Wood Clones to manifest Susano'o while fighting the 5 Kage instead of Shadow Clones?


In the [wiki](http://naruto.wikia.com/wiki/Wood_Clone_Technique), it is
mentioned that

> Wood Clone Technique, unlike other clone techniques, **do not disappear when
> hit** and it is able to take damage to a certain degree. 'This, according to
> Madara Uchiha, makes it _the perfect clone technique that only he with his
> dōjutsu was able to see through_.' This happened in **Chapter 577**.

This was most likely the reason why he preferred using wood clones. The two
other possibilities you mentioned above are not possible and here are the
reasons:

  1. The first possibility is wrong since both [Shadow Clones](http://naruto.wikia.com/wiki/Shadow_Clone_Technique) and [Wood Clones](http://naruto.wikia.com/wiki/Wood_Clone_Technique) **can perform jutsu**.

  2. The third possibility is wrong since Madara Uchiha is listed as **one of the Shadow Clone users**. [He even used it to fake his death](http://naruto.wikia.com/wiki/Shadow_Clone_Technique#Trivia).
