SWMBO has decreed that front door must be replaced with a fiberglass
one. After I don't know how many hours shopping for one she has
narrowed it down to 3 different brands and styles. Knowing absolutely
nothing about these doors and finding very little of any use on the web
except manufacturers/vendors ramblings and a few bitter homeowners
comments, I decided to place the question to you. Are there any known
problems or support issues with the following: Pella, Therma-Tru or
Benchmark by Thermatru? The price of all are very similar and to my
untrained eye the doors appear very similar. I would appreciate any and
all constructive comments.

You usually can't go wrong with Pella products. All things being equal, I
would check out and compare all the warranties.

Should have mentioned the warranties - all lifetime. Also should have
mentioned location - Eastern North Carolina.

They all appear to be quality doors. I would next check the specifications
for each door regarding heat range of exterior material, insulation value,
etc. Overall, I don't think you could go wrong with any of the choices,
but there might be variations in these characteristics. If they're
comparable, I'd go with the appearance that appeals most.

Nothing like a bawled peanut.
