Should I get Ipe or Azek for covered porch?

Can you tell me the pros and cons of these decking materials. Our contractor likes both these materials.

We are planning a covered porch that will be elevated about 3 feet. A little maintenance is okay. We love the dark color of Ipe when new and the greyed color is okay with us as we are planning to get grey siding on our house. We have not actually seen an Azek deck, so we hesitate, yet we have heard it is quite good.

I appreciate any helpful info you can share, including photos and longevity factors. Thanks!
