Default Replacement windows or new storms and screens?

We are giving consideration to replacing our 40 year old wood windows.
They are drafty and bugs get in through the screens.

We are planning on selling the house in 3 to 7 years.

Here is what we see our options as being:

Replacing with vinyl
Replacing with wood
Replacing JUST the storms and screens
Not replacing anything at all

Are there any other options that I am missing?

HEEELP!!!

You need to do an economic analysis.
Cost versus payback.
Also, replacing entire windows could be a big pain in terms of mess.
