I think to some extent it depends on the weight distribution in the door.
Also of course you may find that the door or its support warps when loaded
so really look at similar installations that have not given trouble, though
wooden doors seem to hate me when I used to hang them.

In our last house we had original 1930's panelled wooden doors, which all
seemed to warp, move, or change size with the weather.

In this 70's house, on moving in ten years ago, I replaced all the original
egg box doors with composite MDF and oak doors - and they still all fit as
well as the day they were hung. So I'm now very much in favour of composite
doors for their stability - and they use a lot less scarce hardwood too.
