Has anyone had good success with a particular decking brand that they would recommend?

I had the deck in our last house done in Ipe. I would use Ipe again without hesitation. It costs more than some other materials, but if installed properly, it last 50+ years and needs no maintenance.
The ipe wood is so dense it doesn't even float! Amazing stuff.
