Replacing a fence... pine or cedar?

About 80 feet across the back of my lot is a rotting cedar fence with metal posts. I'm not touching the posts but should I add a third row of runners and put up pine boards? I'm replacing the two sets of runners. I have cedar on either side of the backyard currently. I'm also one to let fences are naturally without painting or pressure washing.
Trying to be as cost effective as possible without it looking bad.

I would put cedar to match everything else and I would add another runner.

Shouldn't even be a question. Cedar.. Pine sucks you only get pine if your short on cash

If you're trying to be cost effective, I'd go to stine lumber today
Tax free today, and their cedar boards are usually only 50c higher than pine
I bought all of my fence materials there tax free a few years ago

Pine, but aging, they not going to match. 3 runners are a must.

If you don't have a problem with the fences matching then go with pine. The more the pine ages the more it will look like the cedar.
I'm cheap. I'd go with 3-runner pine.

Have you considered having it cleaned? Cedar shouldn't rot.
