I chose wood mainly because I like the aesthetics of it over aluminium. Metal is obviously going to be more durable and require little to no maintenance.
My base layer on the sides is 3/4" plywood, and I used redwood boards over that for my siding. Redwood (and cedar) hold up outdoors with no issues and naturally resist fungus and mold. I "finished" the siding with multiple coats of tung oil, and every 6 months or so I add a couple more coats on to keep the wood healthy.
You can very well seal the wood with a marine spar varnish (sealer and finish) and rarely if ever have to touch it up. The best part about marine spar is if it needs to be touched up, you just add more on, no need for sanding like polyurethane requires.
Here's a photo of my siding. Lemme know if you have any questions!
