PVC vs Aluminum vs. Wood

Starting Greek revival farmhouse and I'm attempting to stay as historically true to the originals. I'm having one problem in particular and that is the soffit and fascia area. I decided on wood siding despite all the maintenance as I really love the look of wood. The Greek revival are known for some pretty detailed woodwork up around the soffit/fascia area including the classic return cornice.
What I'm wondering is if it would look odd too substitute the PVC in lieu of wood anytime a gutter is to be in front the fascia board.I would like to use real wood and a composite wood soffit along the rakes and for the return cornices. I'm not afraid of a little upkeep but painting behind butters will suck.
Hopefully I explained it clear enough. Thanks a lot -Luke
