You must also consider your space. A French door needs to have the room for the door to swing open. No furniture can be placed in the swing area.

We just replaced our old French doors with a slider and I was surprised by how much brighter it is. French doors are fine, but they typically don’t have a screen and require so much interior clearance to open, that I prefer the sliders. You can get higher end sliders - depending on your opening I would look to see if you can get over sized sliders (essentially two sliding doors and solid glass on either end) or the stacking ones.

We have a three panel sliding door with no dividers; the middle part is the door. It looks nice and lets in a ton of light.
