re: Porch ceilings: t&g pine or cedar or beaded Hardi sheets?

eed to decide on the ceilings of our porches. None of them will get direct sunlight so not worried about fading. I like the idea of maintenance free hardie sheets painted but like the look of tongue and groove wood. Only thing with the t&g that concerns me is the maintenance.

Pros/cons/thoughts?

I did t&g pine and painted it. vinyl has come a long way but it still looks like a lower quality finish
