Actually, Doedicurus do better at obsidian.... and for oil maybe if u're having like a lot of dinos then u can just tame a dung beetle to convert poop into oil...
if u live near mountain then high level doedicurus is usefull to farm metal and obsidian (it gets metal and obsidian only from obsidian rock. metal rock only gives stone)
ankylo mainly used for flint and crystal, because using pickcaxe and SCUBA set is faster rather than hitting trilobe using ankylo

I know this question was answered already, but after some updates of ark, those answers are a bit outdated.

So for me, the best collectors are:
Therizinosaurus (the best collector): investing in brutal mode, it collects tons of wood, chitin, queratin, meat and prime meat (when accomplishing 300% of brutal collecting, Therizin can harvest 500 wood from 1 single tree); investing in delicate mode, it collects tons of berries and fiber.
Moschops is awesome to gather prime meat, organic polymer and other things, but I think those are the best; Moschops is good to gather wood, thatch, fiber and berries passively when set to wander.
Doedicurus is the best gatherer for stone and obsidian. I recommend to go mine with some other dinos that can help protect you and carry a lot of weighted stuff, or go with a Quetzel and you should be just fine. Doedi is good to gather stone passively when set to wander.
Ankylo is awesome to gather metal and crystal. In the same way, try to mine with some other companion or with Quetzel. Ankylo is a good choice to gather rare flower, rare mushroom and plant x seeds, just go with it to the swamp and break thorny bushes.
For me the resource I found harder to gather is thatch, but we have some creatures that do the job. My favorite one is the Wooly Rhino, you can just sprint and break a lot of trees.
For fertilizer, I use Phiomia and remotely give'm stimberries, but I heard Dung Beetles are really good to, I dind't try those yet.
And I think this is it, good luck to the new survivors!

Sorry i am VERY late answering this but i personally think the Therizinosaurus is best for wood and the Bronto is best for berries (if you are a beginner aim for a trike after you can get tranq arrows at level 21. But if you need to when you click to go into the world along the left side there should be lines with a Dot somewhere scroll down until you find Harvesting damage and move the marker (dot) to the right side and go into the world and go to a bush and you will recieve more berries etc. Works the same for wood. Unfortunately it doesn't work on dinos :(
