should i put new windows in or use a sash replacement kit?

my existing windows are wood and seem to be dry and loosing strength. i do have storms on the outside which are in need of replacement. so, i have to make up my mind on which to do. replace with a sash kit or just put in a whole new replacement. anyone know what will be more efficent.

1. I usually recommend a whole new window. the problem with replacement windows or sash kits, is that usually the old wood sill and sometimes some of the rest of the jamb is rotton. so if you just replace the sash, the problem is still there. also, new windows are more energy efficient, not only in the glass but the whole unit is better sealed.
