Use galvalume steel. It has a good warranty, comes in several colors.
Do it right, or do it twice.
I know of some good products for residential structures, but none are available in aluminum. In my part of upstate NY, Fabral does well with the building community, and I used their 1-1/2" SSR on my recent project. Galvanized steel, painted, 24 gage.
Ideal is another viable product, in steel only, shipping in from Quebec.
