Well, you're kind of limited by what's regionally available and affordable. Here in Michigan, no lumberyard carries redwood, so it would be out of the question.
Western red cedar has good rot resistance, but is a bit on the soft side. It's readily available in most areas as 7/8" boards roughsawn on one side and smooth on the other. I've milled shiplap siding from these to replace damaged cedar siding on my house. (Nobody carries shiplap siding around here anymore.)
I'm a big fan of Douglas fir. It has good rot resistance, probably not as good as red cedar or redwood but it's acceptable for most uses. It's very hard as softwood goes and quite strong. I don't use it much because it's difficult to get here except as 2x4 studs and 2x10 joists. But if you can get it in appropriate dimensions, that's what I would use.
