Polycarbonate not long lasting if compare with composite panel but cheaper. Depends thepolycarbonate thickness as well. Polycarbonate advantage is transparent. U can get natural light.
Composite panel should has better sound proof.
Can consider metal deck with insulation if want sound proof.

Composite panel will be dark after installation is it, even with lighter shades of colour?

Thanx in advance for the advice I would take up polycarbonate for the following reasons, 1) Cheaper 2) Better natural lighting 3) Less noise 4) Look better then aluminium composite panel in a residency. (Very personal preference  )
