Trex Versus Azek. Pros/Cons?


I'm looking to instal a deck on new constructed home here in Minnesota and the homeowner is debating over trex or azek. I like and have installed both. any suggestions on how to steer them one way or the other? Thank you in advance

I would steer them towards a hardwood decking. However, if they are set on a composite product, I would try to educate them enough to guide their decision.
