I like the black wrought iron, but the cedar columns work too and it'd be a nice change. I'd just build that over the existing wrought iron columns, so you could always change it back at some point. Good call on whoever suggested making the stucco the same color as the siding.
Older homes -- this one is from 1922, often had this type of porch. I'd stick with painted posts if you decide to change them. The cedar ones look like you are wanting the house to be something it's not.
I suppose the stucco/cement was less expensive than brick back in the day??? Having that detail would be an upgrade. The original owner splurged on those iron columns and railing. The decision is to celebrate the original or bring this home into modern times. I would go for modern and try the cedar columns but mine would be a bit beefier than you showed.
