As there are widely varying qualities of paint with vastly different "lasting" power, there is a wide range of vinyl siding product. Some is quite resistant to fade and has good cold weather flex without shattering. Thicknesses vary considerably and some are fiber reinforced. My vinyl guy recommended not getting the fiber reinforced but investing is good quality material that is thicker. Ask me again in 15 years.
