help understanding windows - what's the best?

I'm trying to figure out what's what in the world of windows.

I recently visited a manufacturer's showroom and spoke with one of the salespeople and here is the breakdown I was given in terms of quality: lowest quality to highest quality.

+ Vinyl (inside) / Vinyl (outside)

+ Wood (inside) / Vinyl (outside)

+ Wood (inside) / Wood (outside)

+ Wood (inside) / Aluminum (outside)

Is this true? The best you can buy is aluminum cladding on the outside? The salesperson told me that wood/wood was a builder thing and that they didn't even really offer it.

I'd love to have any feedback that the more knowledgable than me folks here can offer.

Best,

Bill
