The most durable type of door is a steel door. However, you can't do too much with a steel door. A problem with a steel door is that it will bend. Also, if you get a less expensive steel door, you may have worry about rusting. Fiberglass is also very durable. With fiberglass, you have a variety of different aesthetic options. You can have just about any color of door you would like. Wood is the type of material that is going to be the most susceptible to the elements. However, if you take care of your wood door, in terms of the finish and making sure it has the proper overhang protection, your wood door will last. It will be beautiful for years, just as long as steel or fiberglass. Now a lot of homeowners don't want that responsibility, or they don't want to worry about it. So, they choose a door that requires less maintenance.
