table saw blades

Looking for a blade for my 10" Grizzly table saw for ripping cedar strips. I've heard from a few sources that a thin-kerf dedicated ripping blade is better than my 10" Freud 40 tooth combination blade. ( so says Val of One Ocean) I thought I heard somewhere that the wood tends to wander more with a combination or crosscut blade that a rip blade. I just thought that with something as soft as cedar, that it would be like butter with my combination blade. I was looking at an 8" Freud thin-kerf rip blade. Any thoughts? Also, in case anyone is interested, I bought two 10 packs of Pony 2' Spring clamps at Costco today for $16 per pack. At $1.60 each, it's by far the cheapest price I've seen. Don't know if Cosco is nationwide, but I thought I'd pass it on.
