Hi All.

I plan on redoing the outside of my house in Midwood, Brooklyn, NY.
I currently have wood shingles on the upper level and old stucco on the lower level. This is the original configuration and has been there since before i bought the house 10 years ago.

I am deciding what would work better for me: Vinyl Siding vs. Stucco. I've searched high and low on the web for cons/pros of each and found that the opinions are rather inconclusive. Some people adore vinyl and some people prefer stucco. Each have their arguments.

Would anyone be able to share an advice or perhaps point to a useful info source?

My main siding bullet points are:
* I need it durable
* I need it practical (mainly - heat preservation aspect)
* Look-wise - I am comfortable with either

If anyone has practical pointers on what material/insulation to use for either, it would be great.

Thank you.
