At my lake house we have wood and at my home we have composite material. For ease of maintenance, longevity, etc. I would highly recommend the composite materials although all are not equal. I can't recall the brand I have but will try to look over the weekend. It looks very nice and is wearing extremely well so no complaints and I certainly don't miss the regular staining/resealing of wood and carpenter bees are not an issue. I just pressure wash it once a year and it looks like new.

As for the heat that GF mentioned, that has not been my experience with ours. In fact, nothing I have seems to get as hot as the treated lumber we have on our dock. I really don't believe there is any difference but again, that could be product dependent. If I redid the decks at the lake house I would probably not use wood.
