If their young ask yourself the question what styles you like for them
Do you want straight trunks or trunks with movement
With movement you could wire the trunks now and bend them
Make sure the roots grow sideways in all directions instead of downwards to get a nice flair at the base and just let them grow and get fat trunks best in the ground or big flat wooden boxes
and train them for bonsai when the trunks are at least 2,5 inch in diameter

Growth in length means growth in thickness tricky part is keeping the foliage close to the trunk because cedar doesnt backbud very good

Oops i know white cedar doesnt backbud very well not sure about regular cedar
You mean Cedrus. They are the only Cedars. They don't bud back at all. Training cedars requires replacement of the leader with a new one again and again....if you want taper. They are much more difficult than pines.
