Triple or quad sliding would be better for an alternative to bifold.
I think french doors are wildly underrated and almost wish I got them as in oak they would have matched the interior.

From repairing doors and windows. I think bifold doors need to be done by a place that specialises in them or at least does them fairly often.
When they are new and perfectly set up, I think they look good. However a bit of wear and going out of adjustment multiplied across 4 to 6 leaves, usually means they are shit.
Aluminium frames are a must (imo) as pvc isn't stiff enough and the mounting holes are more likely to elongate and go out of adjustment.
Spares are kinda pricey and they seem to be going obsolete quite quickly. If the rollers need replacing on the master leaf, you may have to remove all the leaves first to get them out of the tracks.
Personality I'd go for double sliding (fixed, slide | slide, fixed) or French doors with two fixed panes.
