 Choosing the right contractor-Choosing the Right Company
While most siding lasts forever, the same can't be said for contractors that sell siding
Avoid using "fly-by night" contractors; they may very well be long gone when problems arise.
Choose a reputable contractor such as Dave's Galster [Dave's Custom Siding] who has been in the business over 30 years.

When choosing a "lifetime product," it is equally important to deal with a company that will be around as long as you are, and stands behind their work. It will cost a few dollars more, but most things worth having done are worth having done right the first time
APPLYING INSULATION
Use insulation as an underlayment for the siding.
Adding extra insulation is a plus as it helps reduce utility bills and soundproof the home.
The insulation used does not have an extremely high R-value; however, R-value can be misleading at times.
In order to reduce your utility bills you must stop air infiltration and regulate hot/cold airflow.
Most insulation is made of Styrofoam or polystyrene and some have a plastic or foil moisture barrier.
A moisture barrier is an important feature because it helps keep the old wall dry.
When vinyl siding is used and a foil moisture barrier is used, it is best to have the foil face in or be next to the old wall as vinyl siding tends to get very warm during the summer and the foil facing out will sometimes cause warping of the siding. However, this is not the case when steel siding is used.
Most insulations are available in either 4' x 8'sheets or fanfold style-4' x 50' bundles and besides insulating the home, they help create a flat, even wall to work with.
In short, use insulation under your new siding. It will solve a multitude of problems.
