Cypress that is non-reptile sources (like Home Depot) is much cheaper and is generally fine. It can carry little buggers in it sometimes and I recommend giving it a spray of PAM and treating the enclosure with it.
I love cypress for certain animals. It's not very good for burrowing like aspen is, but it has it's comfort. A lot of cypress I run into seems to be dirty. So is aspen, but it seems cypress is more so. So it just depends on how much you want to work at cleaning out the tubs. I had all my animals on aspen but I got sick of being a clean freak and having to wipe off every bit of dirt/dust stuck on the tub by static. So, paper-towels are my favorite.
