Pine bark seems to last longer than regular mulch.
I use pine bark in my flower beds. A neighbor uses pine straw, and her beds always look lovely. I was using cedar until I found out that pollinators don't like it. I like my honeybees butterflies and even the red wasps that flitter around my flowering herbs, so I made the switch to the less expensive pine and it's working out fairly well.

Cedar is a better weed prevention, but pine is more eco-friendly.
