Cedar does have a reputation of not having much headroom in the hands of some luthiers. If you can confirm with the luthier that he has a comfort level to meet your needs or better yet try one of his previously built cedar guitars. Properly braced you can get a lot of headroom from cedar.
If he’s not making you warm and fuzzy with cedar I’d recommend Redwood. You get a lot of the cedar sound and Redwood is easier to get headroom from.
