Go vinyl
I'm a painter and I wouldn't think of using anything but vinyl especially the new stuff that looks real until your within 10 feet of the house.
There isn't much out there now that will protect wood siding for more then a few years if that.
All the new VOC laws have stripped the products of the materials that made them last longer.
