I would stay away from silicone as it is not paintable and I
have had serious problems with its adhesive qualities on wood
and masonry.

I agree wholeheartedly. I'm sure there's a "paintable" silicone
available, but my experience with silicone adhering to wood and masonry
is that it doesn't. I hate to see it on a house, but if it needs to be
ripped out it's great. It comes out out in nice long strings.

Of course, nothing else will adhere where the silicone was. Urethane for me.
