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.- Hide quoted text -

I had all my steel casement windows replaced 20+ years ago. no mess no
hassle at all.

BRAND NEW windows will increase home value the most

Go for cheap, storms and screens. With the housing market getting more
and more depressed, you would not be likely to recover any large part
of a window investment for a number of years. Keep the present windows
painted and tidy and the potential buyers will be just as happy not
having to pay a higher price for your house based on your upgrades.
Same thing with kitchen fads and the like.
