I didn't care for the switch from 2x decking material down to 5/4, so I have continued to use 2x since. However, you likely don't want to go wider than 4" or 6" (nominal). Actual measurements would be 3.5" and 5.5" wide. Anything wider and you're asking for more problems.
As for the joists, there is no problem in Michigan with going untreated, and same with decking. You don't have termites there, so unless you have other wood-boring pests, treated is really money thrown away. However, you DO need to protect the wood against moisture. Modern pressure treating includes some amount of moisture protection, but make no mistake - pressure treatment is "primarily" designed to ward off bugs and rot. Yes, rot begins from infiltration of moisture, but the pressure treating doesn't stop the influx of moisture; it only helps kill organisms that develop into fungus that rots your wood.
If it were me (and this is what I do up here in MN) is, use treated posts, then buy standard untreated lumber for the rest. Coat with your favorite protectant. Many folks say to use used motor oil on trailer decking and even on house decking, but in this instance, I think I'd just bite the bullet and use fresh, new motor oil. If you want a red hue to the wood, then use ATF. Not sure if all ATF is red in color, but what I'm familiar with is.
And finally, surfaced wood or rough cut? Well, that's a personal preference. Most people (including myself) prefer surfaced wood. While rough cut might provide better traction (unless under snow/ice), the wood grain will show through better with surfaced wood. It's also easier to walk on barefoot. And lastly, rough-cut, even from a bandsaw mill, will be more inviting of moisture than surfaced wood.

Today's Featured Article - 12-Volt Conversions for 4-Cylinder Ford 2000 & 4000 Tractors - by Tommy Duvall. After two summers of having to park my old 1964 model 4000 gas 4 cyl. on a hill just in case the 6 volt system, for whatever reason, would not crank her, I decided to try the 12 volt conversion. After some research of convert or not, I decided to go ahead, the main reason being that this tractor was a working tractor, not a show tractor (yet). I did keep everything I replaced for the day I do want to restore her to showroom condition.
