All replacement external doors must conform to minimum thermal values;

IMO, composite doors offer the best of both worlds.
Remember that replacing external doors is notifyable if more than 50% (I think) glazed & any glazing in or adjacent to the door must be toughened safety glass; if in doubt phone your local authority for guidance.

What price range should I expect for decent doors and what brands are recommending?
Awe come on 
the expensive ones are expensive cos they are probably over rated & the cheap ones are cheap cos they are Carp.
JohnD would go for a "real wood" door & I would go for a "composite" door; get some prices, do your own "homework" & make up your own mind but probably £100 - £300.
