Peachtree Windows or Milguard or Pella

I live in central CA. Lowes here has started to carry Peachtree which is supposedly primarily east coast. Warranty looks bad but they do have advantage of pre-stained wood. Other choice is Pella wood or Milguard Wood Clad. I woudl really appreciate some independant opinions. Thank you. Also, what about grids...are they useless? Do white grids look tacky? Thanks again.

Check out Consumer Reports of their review of various types and manufacturers of windows.

I found it very helpful before I ordered my Survivor 7100 Reliabilts.

I hope this helps.
