Both resist rot and insects naturally. Redwood is slightly denser and more stable in wet-dry cycles, which matters near the coast. Cedar is lighter, easier to work, and slightly less expensive. Both need sealing every two to three years to hold color; left unsealed, both weather to a gray that many homeowners actually prefer.
