Default What kind of mulch do you suggest?

I get natural color shredded cyprus. it doesnt break down as fast as others and
looks good much longer. Ingrid

i was wondering what kind of mulch people here use. i am considering
putting coloured cedar bark (black) on the areas of our flowerbeds that
i redid. i have never added mulch to the beds before. i have surfed the
net and googled and a lot of places say that some cedar and pine mulchs
can affect your flowering shrubs, some of the flowers, as well as taking
nitrogen out of the soil.
if anyone can help me on this i would greatly appreciate any input.
thanks everyone for taking the time to answer. cyaaa, sockiescat.
