Building new house and applying cedar siding. I am confused by recommendations of different painters:
1) Good cedar siding only requires a oil based sealer.
2) Good cedar siding requires an oil based primer and oil based stain - even if natural color.
3) Cedar siding requires primer and two coats of latex?
What are the pros and cons of these techniques

Our local lumber yard pre primes a lot of cedar...they use a good quality latex stain blocker and then people can finish with 1 or 2 coats of latex finish. They say that even that does not gaurantee that the natural oils will not work themselves up to the surface
