What is a good material to use for the top of the rail im building? It is going to be a box, somewhere around 30 feet long and 3 feet wide.

azek is the best. i used both trex and azek. the reason its the best is when ur doing something wide u can use just one piece instead of having a bunch of seams. this way water can stay on it and keep it more slick. check it out. slides like a dream
