Composite Decking or Real wood

I'm in the process of rebuilding the deck on my cabin in Idaho and need some advice regarding the surface.
I've always used 2 x 6 cedar on my decks and have gotten plenty of years out of it. This deck is 22 yo. and has done well in a very wet climate. Now however the price of cedar is exorbitant so I'm thinking of using a composite. The deck is built with 16" centers, is 450 sq ft. in size and is 4' off the ground.
My main concerns are warpage and the surface getting slick. I also have to consider all the extra costs associated with composite trim/finishing pieces and the fasteners.
Any suggestions or advice is greatly appreciated. Thanks.
