I had used stone poles for my barbed wire fence. However, midway through fencing, some of the stones were stolen. It was working out very expensive to replace them due to high cost of transport, so I purchased concrete ones. So I have both stone and concrete poles in my fence. My observation is that the stone poles are much more durable compared to the concrete ones. Especially for the cross pieces (which make contact with the vertical poles), I can see the concrete ones have started to crumble, while the stone ones are fine. It was also hard to fix the concrete cross pieces with sufficient tension to keep the fence wires taut.
