Looking to do house siding whats the best wood for texas heat?

[03mustangdude]

I've heard cedar is what i should use but just want a second opinion...

Be carful with wood siding. I haven't experienced it myself, but I've heard of people having a hard time getting insurance because of it.

It's 2011, there are plenty of composites that can offer the look of original wood.

i'm just repairing 10 damaged boards. I dont really want to replace all 30 or so, what are the benefits of composites vs wood i've heard of pvc, is their any other?

You should replace all of the wood siding with hardyboard now.
