Sliding Doors

[stateofmind]

Looking for recommendation on sliding doors. We have to replace our patio door in our walk-out basement. We would like to spend as little as possible and not worry about it rotting away. So cheap and high quality. I'll do the install myself. I would like it to be energy efficient, and slide open and shut nicely for a long time. So if I have to spend over $1,000 I will, but would rather not.

Is the existing frame structurally sound and square or do you have to monkey around with it?

I haven't pulled it out obviously, but I think it's pretty square. The home is probably 11 or 12 years old.
