    If you are trying to go back with the original look then go with wooden but if you want something that is more modern and almost 100% maintenance fre go with vinyl it is cheaper but looks good and will last a long time. Whatever you choose to do make sure you get the measurements perfect and use new flashing so they wont leak in the future.
