My husband said the wood frame is better unless you have a Cat. 5 hurricane and then he's dead wrong. Pay your insurance and don't worry about it.
But based on his experience in the construction industry, at the speed the houses in TV are built and considering the concrete foundations and time to cure properly; wood moves block doesn't.
As your foundation settles, the foundation will have cracks. The cracks telegraph right up the blocks and will come through on your stucco. Wood frames are more forgiving.
Fading won't be as obvious on light colored siding.
Two facts in construction: concrete cracks and skylights leak.
