Go with Trex/Synthetic for the top.. Buy once, cry once.. Still use good wood for the framing and the runners. I put a trex deck on 10 years ago - still looks brand new.
What is my joy if all hands, even the unclean, can reach into it? What is my wisdom, if even the fools can dictate to me? What is my freedom, if all creatures, even the botched and impotent, are my masters? What is my life, if I am but to bow, to agree and to obey?
-- Ayn Rand, Anthem (Chapter 11)
That is definitely the way I am going. I am leaning toward the Veranda decking from Home Depot. A good bit cheaper than trex and a cool mounting system so no screws into the composite. I like the no maintenance aspect. I don't want to have to stain and seal and all that crap.
On my new house I got Moisture Shield decking, it's awesome but not cheap.
There's a deck supply store over in commerce city. West of Quebec on 74th(???). They sell to the public and help design if you need it. Good prices, my buddy who built decks for awhile bought from there.
