Whitewood is typically an S-P-F product. Stands for spruce-pine-fir. It could be any of those woods depending on local availability. For 2×4 it seems that the whitewood boards are consistently straighter.
If you want to use yellow pine I’d recommend looking at the wider boards (2×6, 2×8, 2×10, 2×12) because they are typically a little better quality. I made my bench top out of 2×8 ripped down. The yellow pine 2×4 selection was horrendous.
If you’re worried about spf being too soft you can always top with a hardened sheet good. I think that’s what Paul has on top of the bench he uses in the videos.
