What's the best wood for house outside exterior: trims, fascia, etc.

Dictated by where you live. Cedar siding has lasted for centuries in
new England, other areas. So find a very old house nearby and inspect
the materials that seem to be well preserved and attempt to replicate
those in your project.

I'm in upstate NY, in a nearly 200-year-old house. I've got cedar on
everything, and it really lasts. One tip - don't use exterior paint, use
alkyd stain.
