repair siding



i have wood siding on my house.
the last paint job was so bad, it started to peel off in 2 years.
i found a contractor to re-paint it. but his suggestion was to cover it with aluminum siding. his reasons are as follows:
1. even if they scrape off the old paint as best as they can, the remaining paint will soon peel off taking the new paint with it.
2. woods shrink & expand according to the season, so even they did caulking, it i will crack between woods within a few years.
3. so, if i want to have trouble free siding, cover the old wood with new aluminum or stucco siding.

is he right about this? i inted to hold the house for 4~5 years and sell it.
is there any way we can paint it and have it last for 5 years?
