Aspen or nordic spruce for sauna walls - please help me

In two days I'm going to buy sauna. I've heard that I can choose sauna
walls to be made of aspen or nordic spruce. Which is better?
What king of wood is better for seats: abache or aspen?

Please, could you answer my questions?

Thank you in advance

Best wishes,

Tommco

Qualify that. Lots of "cedars" out there, most of which aren't. Eastern
white is a good choice based on my sauna tours, and it's not.

Any kind of spruce will bleed pitch forever.
I lined the interior of my sauna with off the shelf 1/2 t&g and have
pitch runs all over the place. Big mistake
I would suggest the aspen
