Where do you live Gun guru? I can give you all kinds of professional advise/pointers. About the best vinyl siding around here is Certanteed "Monogram". It also installs a little different than all the others. When installing, you lock it on to the previous siding panel, then let it settle down. All other vinyl sidings, you need to hold up on the panel when nailing. A couple other quick tips: Do not use foil faced insulation. Do not level siding unless house is level. Many are not level. What to do: Put a 48 inch level up against all the windows on the wall you're going to side. If all the windows read 1/2 bubble off to the right, then you run the siding 1/2 bubble off to the right. Everything will turn out nice. I think you get the picture. I can always tell the amateur sider. Windows and doors all look crooked. Where the siding and soffits meet, the siding is on an angle. Sure enough, they leveled the siding. As far as thickness goes, you need to be at .044 - .046. No thicker, no thinner. What ever brand you choose, make sure it has UV protection. More important than insulation under the siding is "TYVEK" brand house wrapp. If useing rigid board insulation, do not use ship lapp joints. You'll pull your hair out trying to utilize every piece. You'll want a toung & groove, or but joint. Do not put all your nails in the center of the nail slot. You want to control the direction of the expansion/contraction. Example: pick one nail slot within a few inches from the corner post, and favor the corner post side of the nail slot when nailing. This will prevent the siding panel from comming out of the corner post when contracting in cold wheather. I can give you over 30 years of little tricks in the siding business. A full coverage job works out to be about 50% labor - 50% materials. Like someone else mentioned, get a good trim man.
