Which is cheaper vinyl siding or redo the cedar shakes on my house?

There is almost 2,000 square feet to cover on my house. I don’t know if it would be better for me to do vinyl siding or just replace the cedar shakes that I have on my house. Does anyone know how much it would cost for each one? I’m in Ohio.

Is it cheaper to build a log home or a framed house with log siding?

My wife and I are looking into building a cabin in CO and we are not sure on which is cheaper to build.
