Just something to think about with the pre-painted Hardie products--how do you caulk around the pre-painted stuff. Our house on the coast has Hardie plank siding in some gables, soffits, and 4X8 sheets on face of dormers. It's been through 3 hurricanes and several tropical storms and still does not need painting after 8 years. We also used a composite weatherproof board (Prime Trim) for fascia board--no problems. Never lost even a splinter from the storms.

Lake house has one story of Hardie plank, soffit, etc. There is not a single piece of raw wood exposed on the house except for the crown under the soffits. Be sure to use composite 5/4 boards as your corner boards too. Yes, you may have to paint it occasionally, but it adds to the value of house, unlike some plastic products. I believe in it.
