Re: How far can a window stick out of its opening to the outside
You absolutely do not want your replacement windows protruding further than the outside surface. You will be better served giving up some of your inside area and have them installed within the openining.

Re: Help Me Decide
They are both reputable manufacturers and they both make quality products. The major deciding factor is who you are getting the widows from and their experience in your market. As manufacturers we can only design them, fabricate them, and make sure they meet or exceed industry standards.
