I personally don't like metal doors, they dent, they rust if not kept up with. Wood doors wood be my first choice, fiberglass wood be my second choice. if your looking for a good door at a reasonably good price then go with fiberglass. (Termo-Tru) would be one I would suggest. Good Luck, BOB
As Bob Suggested, Seriously consider a Fiberglass Door. I do not like metal doors, for the same reasons he listed. They tend to rust at the metal seams over time, especially so in lower grade locations.
One thing to consider though, is if you plan to use a full glass storm door. They are not recommended for use on fiberglass door because of the heat build up. There are storm doors out there that have 'disappearing screens', meaning that when you slide the top glass down, the hidden, rolled up screen pulls down with it. They are a bit more expensive, often as much as or more than the entry door itself.
Third vote for Therma-Tru. I'm putting the Threma-Tru Smooth-Star Fiberglass doors in my new house. After many hours of research and looking at various doors, there were always highly recommended. I have 11 double astragal doors so it was important to get an excellent door with a Low-e glass.
