 To plane or not to plane

A friend has graciously supplied some unfinished aromatic red cedar. The cedar has been drying for some 16 years.
Should I plane both sides or a single side? I would like to leave ~ 3/4 inch and cut rabbit the edges to cover joints. The application is closets to keep the bugs at bay.

Mark,
some of us sling the bull better than horse, but at least we have a group of people with exerience.
Paul; I need approximately 300 sq ft for what I need to do. I have much more than that available. I have ~ 1000 board feet cut and another 1000 board ft I could cut into boards from sq. logs. I can not easily T&G the material so I will need to keep it thicker.
JT; the material was cut with a circular saw but I could cut up the other material on a band saw which is in 6x10 x 10 ft for about 40$. I plan to panel the one wall in the walk in and then the ceilings in the other closets.

As it turned out the question was moot. Most of the boards where thick enough that I needed a number of planer passes to get to the 3/4 finished thickness, therefore I did both sides. I have a little irregularity to the joints less than 1/16". The fit was so smooth in most cases and with out a V groove I found that, despite the nice grain, I needed a little contrast and finished nailed on the surface rather than blind.
Thanks
