Default hardiplank vs cedar

Hardiplank is heavy, and is very difficult to both cut and nail. It
is probably more expensive than cedar too. However, a quality paint
job might last 20 years on hardiplank. If you are selling soon, you
are probably better off with cedar.

i need to replace quite a bit of wood trim on my house, it is painted
cedar now. eave trim will be cedar for continuity, but if i replace
an entire window box, should i do it all in cedar or hardiplank? its
cost vs ease of installation, i will do it all myself. it just seems
easier to cut and nail cedar.

any input? i plan to sell in 2 years.....
