I’ve heard good things about Brite- our contractor, though, is recommending TimberTech. I think we’ll probably go with this=> http://www.timbertech.com/Products/DeckingPlanks/Earthwood.aspx

Our climate though puts different demands on the material than Alberta… and the lack of rats is definitely a plus 😉

Update: Applying my l337 Googling skills, I found a couple of “reviews” comparing TimberTech to other products.

A review=> http://log-homes.thefuntimesguide.com/2007/09/choiocedek_vs_timbertech.php

A collection of technical reports on composite deck materials=> http://www.icc-es.org/reports/index.cfm?csi_num=06500&view_details=yes

The technical reports are interesting, but probably more readable for someone like Oblivion 😉 The one thing I noticed was that the TimberTech can have up to 24″ between joists, whereas the Brite is a maximum of 16″. I guess that means that the TimberTech (theoretically) is more “sturdy” and could be built with fewer support joists, but beyond that I’m not sure what it means. Brite is a Canadian company, though: and that goes in its favour.
