I need to wrap soffit and fascia on my new addition. What material,
aluminum or vinyl looks best, easier to install for an average
homeowner?

I personally think a combination of vinyl soffit and aluminum fascia is the
better choice for the first time DIY person.

Other than a cheap plywood blade for your circular saw the only tools you
must have are a quality pair of tin snips, a 6" hand brake, and a nailset
for the siding nails that nail the fascia in place.

The hand brake is used to bend the corners to wrap around and protect the
wood under there.

Building yourself a slide track to hold the vinyl and track your saw at 90
degrees is desirable. That uses a 24x24 scrap pf plywood and some 1x3
scraps. I can and will upload a photo of one for you if you like. Mine is
about 20 years old and has been used a few times.
