Garage door replacement options |

If you were replacing an 18' garage door, rails, springs, and other hardware from the 1970s in Iowa with something new, what design would you select?
After receiving a couple quotes, all have said I'd be best off replacing everything since repair costs look to be several hundred.
Do jackshaft designs throw chains and have issues? The garage has low ceilings and I'd prefer a side mount opener if they are equally reliable. Or I could skip the opener since we don't park cars in the garage. It's mostly a shop.
For an 18' insulated door, are there certain brands or designs that are best? I'd rather spend 20% extra now for better quality and never have to worry about it.
One installer mentioned preferring dual rail systems. Are those better or more reliable?
Any ideas or recommendations would be appreciated.
thanks, Bryan
