Choosing the best requires considering some things to avoid future regrets. Nevertheless, the benefit you which to get from each siding would determine the type of siding material you should select among the numerous available options. Let’s list and consider these factors carefully.

Neighbor’s choice
Something about being unique in the whole environment is the fact that sometimes it could attract more negativity than positivity. If you notice all the homes in your environment follows are particular pattern regarding siding choice, trying to do something contradictory might end up reducing the value of your home compared to every other home around you. Initially, this might seems not to be a problem, but the problem becomes evident when you decide to sell your home/property in the future for a reason or the other.
Price

If purchasing a wood siding would make you go broke, you should go for a cheaper siding. Noting also that some sidings can’t survive for long without continuous maintenance, you might want to consider your pocket before paying for a siding that would become a source of headache in your life.
Noting also that siding is the very first thing people get to see when they enter into your compound, I would suggest you don’t buy what will only give initial beauty and then disfigure your home within months or years of purchase because the maintenance is way too high for you.
