Spanish cedar exterior door

In a recent This Old House episode, Spanish cedar was used to build new
exterior doors. Being in New Orleans, I expected cypress might be used.

I am going to make a new door and am planning to use quarter sawn white oak.
Is Spanish cedar something to consider using?

I will paint the door. I am using q.s. oak only because of its rot resistant
qualities.

Is there any experience with Spanish cedar in this group?
