Yes, cedar is better to use for durability and longer lasting. Pine is soft, whether treated or not, and usually much cheaper to purchase. In the long run cedar is the better choice.
But although cedar is better, it also depends on what you need it for... If your doing craft and its not going to be weathered or battered around pine is better. Treated pine is good for craft work as it is easier to shape, bend and can hold a lot of weight.
Cedar is used if you want to make something that last longer, like a table or chair. You don't want pine chairs to snap when you sit on them...

What are the features of Pressure treated fence vs cedar fence?
surprisingly pressure treated fencing is more expensive than cedar, depending on style. if it is a picket style fence I would avoid pt because it is adversley affected by wheather and warping and splitting. Cedar will be more uniform, and look better, and if treated after installation it will last just as long.

What are softwoods?
AnswerSoftwood comes from conifers, i.e., trees with needles. Hardwood comes from deciduous trees.Note that by this classification, balsa is a hardwood, but the balsa wood is actually very soft.Softwoods have needle-like leaves. They are generally pine varieties. (Note that they are not called 'softwoods' because they are soft, many hardwoods are actually quite soft.) They are usually non-pored, open-grained, light and some are soft. However, most softwood building components need to be bigger and at closer spacings than hardwoods.One softwood, Pinus Radiata, can be made less prone to termite attack and decay by a chemical treatment called CCA. This gives the timber a greenish colour. Softwoods such as Oregan (Douglas Fir), Western Red Cedar and Cypress Pine are suitable for external uses, as is treated Radiata Pine. However, untreated Radiata Pine, Hoop Pine and King Billy Pine are not suitable for external use.Softwoods are cheaper than hardwoods and increasingly available because of pine plantations.The most common species in the Australian building industry are:Radiata Pine Western Red Cedar Oregan (Douglas Fir) King Billy Pine Slash Pine Hoop Pine Cypress Pine.
