Have to replace my soffit and fascia, so tell me what I should do.. vinyl or aluminum. Will be exposed to the SWFL weather conditions.

metal
vinyl sags
hardi is a good option.
depends on the house and the look your going for.

I'd go with KOMA or AZEK.

your talking about cladding..
so your not spending any more than you have to ?
pvc is nice...
id go with heavy 4x6 stained cypress corbels blocks with hardi soffit/ fascia and coppa flashings.

It’s fascia. A facial is what your woman gets at the day spa.

I thought it took place in the bedroom. Not the day spa.

I believe auto correct is turn on in settings of whatever device I used. I’ve only worked with it a million times, don’t know how I missed that. That is for the correction. See, went to spell thanks. This is on iPad and it wrote “that is” instead of thanks.

Turned off predictive and auto correct. Back to fishing or whatever the next topic is.

if you're in a hurricane zone either of these is a risky material if the substrate is not properly framed and/or the right fasteners and number and spacing of fasteners are not used, this is largely ignored in the construction industry. if the soffit blows out (or more commonly pushed up) the wind and rain get in your attic. worse case the wind lifts off your roof, best case your drywall gets saturated. If you investigate there are wood diaphragm's that need to be installed which vary by the wind zone you are in. Hardy soffit is a lot stronger. retired VP of construction here.
