You will have to use a solvent. Try Goof-Off, the water based type might work and will do the least damage to the vinyl trim. All harsh solvents will damage vinyl.

Are vinyl siding better then weather board?
Here is my personal opinion, I like the vinyl siding for its color fastness and longevity, but it does not look that great specially the trim. So when we rebuilt our house (Hudson Valley, NY) 15 years ago I specified red vinyl siding with white wood trim and corner board. I still looks great and no weather related problems, but we have had to re paint the wood trim once (3-4 years ago).

What are some specifics of paint that would help me to select a brand?
One thing that has to be taken into account is what surface you are painting. Siding or trim or both? Is the current siding vinyl or wood? The other question would be what color are you covering? These will help determine whether you need oil based or can get by with a latex solution. Latex holds up better to extreme weather. Flat house paint is best for siding, whereas glossy is best for trim, and the type of paint for trim will depend whether it is wood or metal. Rule of thumb with paint "you get what you pay for..." applies here. If you want this color to last for 20 years do not go with the cheapest base you can buy. :)
