Default Replacing door sill question

I plan on replacing my front door when the weather gets a little
nicer. I might change out the sill. From what I understand it's just a
pressure treated 2X6. Do they sell a premade one in which the outer
edge is routed to give it a more rounded edge, or do I just by a 2X6
and route it out myself?


The last time I replaced a door, I left the old sill in place and pulled
the side frames out. The new pre-hung door fit exactly on top of the old
sill and covered the holes nicely.

If you use an oak sill, how do you protect it from the elements?
Stain, paint?
