Default Marine grade? or salt-treated plywood?

I was wondering abotu using salt-treated plywood on the Marquis deck.
I'm not a feared of paying for marine grade, but Jimmy the carpenter
told me that the newer salt treated woods are about as worthy as
marine grade at a fraction of the cost. So, what's the opinion?

I'm even wondering abotu using hybrid decking like you'd use on a
porch. synthetic mylar etc mixed with wood. The stuff is weather
resistant as all get out!
