We prefer the block over vinyl because it is a bit stronger in high winds.
I have had a few issues with vinyl coming loose on other homes I have owned and being damaged while trimming grass, etc.
Block does need painted after some time.....so I think it is a matter of personal choice as to what you want your home construction to be.
Block appears to give a bit more sound dampening over stick built.
All homes constructed in Florida now have to be built to higher wind standards then what you would find in a typical Northern home.
If you have a home built in TV's expect to pay more for block over the cost of vinyl.
