if possible buy sustainably sourced timber decking. hardwood is best, pressure treated softwood okay might last 10 years. all cut faces must be treated with a preservative. consider reclaimed timber as well, there are plenty of salvage companies that have material you can use. counter sunk stainless steel screws to avoid rust stains.
decking an entire garden might make it featureless, so create some interest / borders to break it up a bit. A chance for you to add some personality :)
think about levels and all the exits, make sure they are solid under foot with step or ramp to suit, try and avoid small steps which can lead to tripping / accidents.
think about all the seasons, ensure safe access in bad weather like snow/ice etc.
