Replacement Windows - Which one do you recommend?

[scott123]

We live in the Midwest (Nebraska) and are looking to replace approximately 10 west facing windows per a hail and wind storm. Our insurance will be paying for "like" window replacement. Our original windows were Lincoln. I have received bids from Lincoln, Soft-Lite, and Weathershield. All 3 are for similar windows (u-factor at or close .21) and the overall price and installation costs are similar.

I have 2 questions for the professionals:

1) If you had to pick between Lincoln, Soft-Lite, and Weathershield, which window would you choose?
2) Knowing we plan to be in our home for the next 5-10 years, would you upgrade the window installation to a Marvin? (This would obviously be more expensive and create an out-of-pocket expense but an insurance subsidy and the tax-credit could allow for a better product at a reduced price.)

Thanks for any insights you have!
