I've had composite decking on my dock for about five years and have been very pleased with it. No maintenance and easy to clean (pressure wash). Still have to treat the banding with sealer but only takes a few hours to do that. A word of caution - the material is substantially heavier than wood, so you need to make sure that joist are sufficient to support the material. My dock is framed on 12" centers, which is the minimum to support.
