I prefer the storm door handles on the same side as the entry door handles, just personal preference I guess.
I've installed both Pella and Larson. They're both designed, engineered, and manufactuered to be pretty easy to install. It'll be easier with 2 people at certain points, but possible with one as long as you're reasonably strong.
We had one at our old house that was starting to flake apart at the bottom (aluminum). I went to Lowe's, planning to buy a new one. I fell for the pitch and ended up wanting one that was WAY more expensive, so I didn't buy anything that day. The pitch went something like this - for $200, you buy this half glass/screen door with aluminum around wood for the bottom 30". It'll work great, and then in 3-5 years, the aluminum will flake apart and you'll buy a new one. Wash, rinse, repeat. For $350, you can buy this other one that looks exactly the same, but it's solid aluminum at the bottom - no wood. It'll last ~10 years. I bought the more expensive unit. I still have that house - it's a rental unit now. The door still looks the same as it did the day I installed it about 9 years ago.
On the new house, I installed one Pella and one Larson. They've been up for about a year each, no issues. I opted for the more expensive units for each one to gain more life. My time to redo these is limited and valuable.
