Advice on replacement windows in CA? Anderson vs. Milgard?

We just bought a fixer upper that has 20+ year old aluminum windows that are very difficult to open. I'm hoping to start replacing some of the windows immediately in and near the kids bedrooms before winter. I've been going through old postings and it seems like a lot of the recommended brands are not available here on the West coast. The big box stores have Pella and Cascade but it didn't seem like they were rated very well. I'm having local window stores come out to bid so I'm not sure yet what brands they will offer. I also received a flyer from the replacement window division of Andersen. At our last house in the same area we went with Milgard and never had any problems but we only lived there for six years and hoping to stay here for the long term. I could really use advice on good brands that are available here. Also any reason not to go with all vinyl windows?
