I prefer the fibreglass because it will not dent like steel. A door is constantly subjected to being kicked open, bumped by carried objects or scratched by sharp edges of items and a steel door will pretty much show each and every one of these. Naturally the fibreglass door will suffer too but not as much and not nearly as obviously. In all other respects they're pretty much the same.

Do you need to paint fiberglass door?
Fiberglass is dangerous. You have to have a confined set-up to work with it and spray it in a waterfall booth.

If you want to paint it, just prime it and paint it like it was a steel door. Woodgraining the door requires gel stain and a graining tool. The Zar brand does a lot of advertising on HGTV (well, at least they did) to claim it has the only system to use to woodgrain a fiberglass or steel entry door, but there are several gel stain systems out there and all of them work.
Which is better steel or fiberglass doors?
I think steel doors are much better when compared to fiberglass doors in terms of strength. If you are planning to install a steel door here are easy steps to do it : Firstly, use a pry bar in order to pull the upper molding of the existing door. Repeat the steps again on the bottom as well as the middle part of the molding. Get the hige pins out and then unscrew the hinges. Next, work on the wall framing. Start placing the metal studs on the new frame opening. By using a set of screws, you can secure the frame directly into the existing sill and header framing. Block the areas which require support. Next, you have to set up the door. You may need another person to help in this process. Place the bottom of the steel door in the door opening. Tilt the steel door up into place. Using the shims, make sure to level and orient the door in the right position. Now you have to shim the door. You have to manupulate the shims on each side of the door frame between the metal studs and frame. This will make the door to plumb and level. Then you need to screw the lockset portion of the frame to the metal studs and do the same to the hinge of the frame. Happy to help you.
