If metal means aluminum, it fares poorly in hail. We have vinyl siding over foam. That combination attracted ladybugs during last fall's plague. Like many people around here, we still have piles of dead ladybugs falling out from under the siding--and we're now awaiting this year's plague. It would be nice if they at least added to the R-value.

I broke a vinyl corner piece on our garage with my bucket. The way the stuff hooks together, replacement is about impossible without taking everything off and starting over. I just deck-screwed the broken parts back on to the wood--OK for a garage I guess. Maybe there are repair tricks for vinyl I haven't figured out.
