Default Fence posts with metal pipe last longer?

I received a bid for a cedar mod panel fence for about $23 per foot with
posts set in concrete.
For 10% more, they would put a metal pipe inside the posts and set the pipe
in concrete. This is supposed to last longer. Has anyone any experience with
this? I have to decide whether this upgrade is worth it. Some of my old
fence posts did break at the ground level due to moisture.
