Vinyl: 3M is fine (I am pretty confident), I used Oracal for my sides (that is sturdy stuff).
It all depends, what (full car or just parts) and how you wrap. If you are in doubt, ask the Pros, they will know for sure, what works.

Because experience counts for nothing, right?

Trust me, the guys i use to wrap my cars are "pros" and they now refuse to use 3m due to the number of bad reports and re-wraps they had to do. s6wraps.co.uk
Personally speaking mine chipped up on the front very easily and marked easily as well.
Contrasting to that the Arlon i have on the Boxster is polar opposite and has seen at least 10000 miles of daily driver usage and still looks as good as when it came out of the shop.

That is what I said, trust the experience of the pros from the workshop. What else can you do? Some say so, some say the opposite, whom to trust? The experience of a single person? Forums? It is very perspective.

Afterall it depends on the shop and what you want, matt, glossy, sturdieness, thickness, custom print...bla bla bla and costs.
The shop will offer the best solution for a custom print design, I am sure.

Or make life easy: Make a weathered design like those guys...AWESOME
