Hardi-Plank and expanded PVC trim.
They were $5.75 last year and this year are about $6.50 per board at the big boxes. The trim (Azek) is big bucks.
I did it myself. Alum-a-pole, siding nail gun 7 1/4" - 4 tooth carbide blade saw and you are in business.
Mistake I made is one person cannot handle the long, brittle, 25 pound 8.25" x 12 foot board however. The wife did not like being 30 feet in the air on the scaffolding with me. Vinyl would be so simple, a light piece you can swing around with one hand.
Sounds like you have Masonite, a product popular in the 70's, like me. It fails and ther was a worthless class action lawsute against it. Even if you go with vinyl don't let them convince you to put it over it. Mine was full of bugs, moisture and rot.
