Impact and hurricane windows are quite popular here, as well as standard vinyl windows that require little maintenance and can withstand the heat, salt air and sun.
Simonton 9800 Windows
The Impressions 9800 is a better looking window than the 5500 series and comes standard with some nice features. It can actually be upgraded to serve as a hurricane window (Simonton also sells the Storm Breaker Plus) and is often mentioned as one of the lower priced impact windows out there.

Custom Window Systems
One company that doesn’t get the attention and publicity as the two manufacturers above is Custom Window Systems. They company gets good marks on their impact windows and they should be priced competitively with PGT and perhaps a bit higher than Simonton. Contractors like many of the features that the windows include, although the company does not make their impact windows in a double hung. The reason they use a single hung instead of a double hung is to make sure that the windows will be hurricane code compliant.
