Have used both for years i used to recommend weathershield but i think santex is better now.It holds up well over the years but it seems to repel rain slightly better than weathershield these days.

What about colortrend? Interior stuff is very good, bit dearer but worth it.... Dunno what the exterior stuff is like with them tho!

Dulux or Fleetwood weather clad. Would be my choices. Imo the are a step up on Santex. I find Colortrend good also but no better than Dulux or Fleetwood but it is more expensive
