Answered

Our two story 85% brick home has lap siding on isolated sections of the second floord. Big decision so we want to use a very good product.

I would go with the Hardi hands down. The LP is fiber based not cement based. Hardie will never rot if it gets wet, bugs don't eat it, mold does not eat it and it is fire proof. I am installing it on my cabin in NM. http://kmswoodworks.wordpress.com/2011/06/18/delayed-memorial-day-post/
