I would suggest looking at some high performnce vinyl: OKna800DX or higher, Vytex Potomac or higher.
In Andersen Windows I suggest Woodwright or higher.

Re: MN Vinyl (Softlite Elements/Imperial, Sunrise)
Fairly standard looking twin casement.
Remove the sash, remove the stops, cut out the mullion, install the new 2 section slider, foam, add shoe, cap and seal exterior.

Re: replacement casement window options?
Yup, it is the three sided issue all home owners face.
Finding excellent product.
Finding excellent installation service.
Finding an excellent company to provide both the above.
A deficit any one of those three will make a bad project.

Re: Cinderblock replacement window options
If the block opening is true I would tapcon the vinyl window directly into the block . allow 1/4" deduction around the perimeter so you can spray window and door foam, flat trim both sides and caulk.

Re: Looking for installer/dealer in the San Diego Area
Most of the pros on the board are on the east coast to mid contry.
Look at Installation Masters to see if there are any certified installers in your region.
Also if you find a mfg you like ask them for two referrals.

He answered it
"The color will fade, since everything fades when exposed to UV over time, but tan will not fade significantly, in my experience. That lighter color will hold up well over the 15 years."

Re: replacement casement window options?
They will make wider than 36" casements, this is supported by their size chart that also presents different glass options and the limits.

Re: Clad Wood Windows for new addition in New Orleans
I have been in the industry for 45 years.
Pella has the most failures, lack of quality, lack of long term support. and general arrogance.
The Andersen 400 Woodwright is a good clad wood window, I also like the Marvin Elevate.

If any of the casements are large Sunrise seemed to have the most published engineering.

Re: replacement casement window options?
You have two hings you need to nail in this project, alright maybe three.
the product, the installer/install, and the company/contractor. A miss, less than 95%, on any one will end up with a deficient project.
