Simonton, Jeld-Wen, or American Craftsman - best bang for the buck?

Been looking into windows lately since mine are getting pretty drafty. Narrowed it down to Simonton, Jeld-Wen, and American Craftsman. Anyone have experience with these brands? Curious which you'd recommend and why...

Went through this exact decision last year - ended up with Simonton. Here's why:
- Felt sturdier and better insulated compared to American Craftsman when I checked samples in-store.
- Jeld-Wen looked decent, but heard mixed reviews about their customer service if something goes wrong.
- Installation was smooth, and I've noticed a real difference in drafts (way less chilly now).
Overall, pretty satisfied with Simonton so far...but honestly, proper installation probably matters just as much as the brand.
