In my experience I would go with sliders.Less spaceTighter weather seal (my existing french doors do not seal well unless locked with deadbolt)However, french doors are more aesthetically pleasing.

Drawings should be fine, they won't need to be signed and sealed by an architect.

Although intent can change and hold periods be a little flexible, when @Jeffery Waicak says he was intending to flip as soon as his last flip closed that sealed his fate.  

The basement is essentially sealed off from the rest of the house by the door to the first floor being closed.

The maintenance savings and insurance questions are ones that could really help to seal the deal in my mind.  

The relationship is what sealed the deal for us on these.  

And silestone quartz counters, which are a little more expensive than granite but virtually indestructible and require no annual sealing and buffing.

The issue is this:  The stamped concrete is textured and sealed with a slip resistant sealer in order to avoid slip hazards; however, it is still slippery when compared to the bare concrete on the rest of the sidewalk, especially when it rains.  

Is it isolated and/or relatively minor such as old 9" tiles in the basement, insulation wrap around pipes or ducts for the heating system; vermiculate in the attic; or something more intense as in asbestus in the plaster used on walls or ceilings.If the form of asbestos present is highly/easily friable and cannot be adequately sealed from the living space, you are looking at abatement the cost of which could be small (removing tiles or pipe wrap) to considerable (removing all the plaster in the house).  

It took way too long to assemble though - maybe 3 or 4 hours with all the rubber seals and frame assembly.
