I've had both and prefer block/stucco. Vinyl is noisy. You hear rain and irrigation when it hits the siding. The siding gets moldy and fades after a few years. It gets bridle from the sun and breaks fairly easy. Impossible to match existing siding.
You do have to paint stucco. My house is 6 years old and still looks good. A friend had his painted after 9 years.
