I like the fiberglass ones. They don't dent or rust. But they will crack if they get hit really hard when it's cold.

I put a fiberglass one in my house three years ago. I really like it. Seems warmer than the steel ones. Aside from that I don't notice any difference except price.

Have to be careful with fiberglass. If you put full light storm door on and have direct sun light in the summer the heat generated between the two doors will warp the fiberglass. Learned the hard way

THIS!

I have a Larson full view storm door on a west facing entry door. The steel entry door gets so hot in the evenings you can't touch it. I think I'm going to have the storm door glass tinted to try and remedy the issue.
