If you are planning to clad your building in wood, using timber shingles, tongue and groove planks, or just overlapping boards, then you can use either softwood or hardwood. However, do bear in mind that while softwood cladding is cheaper, it will require painting or varnishing more frequently to protect it from the weather.
