I am just wrapping up my deck right now and I went with Tigerwood too. I hope you have better results than me. Great looking wood but it has now warped and shrunk and twisted so much the deck looks years old and I just laid it down. The gaps, which were 1/8" when put down, are approaching 1" in some places. Very disappointed in the results to say the least, especially with the cost.

It will be durable but I would just spring for Azek if I had to do it over.

As for railing, I went with fascia mounted cable railing. I can see how cumuru/Tigerwood would test the limits based on weight. I actually put in bracing for the Titan post anchors you link as there were my second/backup choice if the cable railing didn't work.
Good luck and post some pics when you get a chance.

What size deck boards did you go with? How are you mounting the deck boards? What spacing joists?
