Safety should be the main building factor.
The big picture windows are insane. And sliders. 10 inch wide by two feet long windows much better options. Would really cut down on home invasions is security over pleasantry was foremost. Alot of new doors have glass built into them! Crazy.

Increasing security is better accomplished with a brace on the inside. Cross, or angled.
An outward opening door is difficult to knock in, but it pries out fairly easy.
Ultimately though, you're only as secure as your weakest point, which is usually a sliding door or window. The froont door, even without brace, is rarely the weak point.
