It kind of depends on what kind of animals you have in your tank. Lava rock makes for especially nice waterfalls, as the air pockets and holes allow for a lot of water movement and it looks very natural. But lava rock can occasionally also have somewhat jagged edges, which for some animals might be dangerous.
If lava rock will not work for you or you don't think it would look right with the rest of the materials in your tank, you could try a series of slate or other flat rocks- offset to create a kind of "stairway" effect that water could cascade off of. I actually think a piece of curved driftwood that carries the water looks too deliberate and man-made. The rocks might also take up less space in your vivarium, not to mention looking more natural.
I would suggest doing a Google image-search for real waterfalls in nature and using them as a guide to make a natural looking one in your own space.
