ASA is also a good choice. Also materials that are average in UV can be modifed with the addition of additives to make them more UV resistant.

Not to forget PC...for extra strenghth and toughness. ASA is marketed on it's ability to retain colour. It has exceptional colour fastness properties and won't fade much over time even in direct sunlight.
