Natural treated wood. And forget any 5/4 flooring or rails. It warps and wears quickly. If you go with QUALITY treated 2" lumber it will last many years. If, if you pressure wash it faithfully and reseal with a QUALITY water repellant coating. And, after washing and sealing, it looks brand new.
Unpainted/unstained wood is my vote.
Also, use screws rather than nails. More expense, but a screw will not back out.
