Sorry to say this but vinyl homes look ugly, they look like a mobile home. Stick frame homes with 2x6 construction with hardi board and the same plans as the block homes, then you would have a more equal decision to make. Have you ever seen a vinyl home in a premier neighborhood? NO.
Check out 2yr old neighborhoods with vinyl siding and some of the siding is loose, dirty or discoloring, and you can tell the house plans are quite different than the block homes: smaller, 2 car garages, etc…
For hurricanes, I’ve always heard block homes will withstand the winds better too
