Any suggestions/recommendations on decking material? I am looking to keep the price low, but realize this is a long term investment.
I am planning to use pressure treated lumber for the frame as that seems to be the least expensive option - but again am open to other suggestions.
Any experience with decking material - and cost - is appreciated.

Have you priced other composites in comparison to Lumberock? A couple years ago I redid all my docks and decks at my island home with Lumberock. At that time I didn’t find it any more expensive than other “Premium” composites. I believe I paid $3.25 per linear foot + shipping for their standard 5/4 deck boards. I also bought some of their 2”x6” boards for my breakwater dock but don’t remember what I paid for that. I am quite certain and like everything these days the price has skyrocketed!
Lumberock is a solid HDPE composite that doesn’t fade or stain and is pretty cool on the feet. I think it’s a fantastic product! The only other product I would look at is Azek premium solid PVC line of composite.
Good luck whichever way you go!
