uPVC have traditionally been ugly but efficient (and are maintenance free unlike wooden windows which have to be maintained).
Nowadays you can have new uPVC painted in any colour you like and they can look very attractive. However they aren't cheap.
Never had casement style windows so I can't comment.
We have horrible plastic uPVC in our house (moved in 6 months ago). They looked grim but worked great so we had them resprayed and they look like new.
