I play fingerstyle.
I love cedar topped guitars..and own several.
My top 2 favorite guitars are topped with spruces however.
Unfortunately, you can't predict what guitar you will think is "best" based just on what wood it is made out of.
The builder is a MUCH more important factor...and even then, you have to factor in the often wide variability in how a builders guitars can sound.
