Javadog offers good advice and I to would go with one of the better companies/doors. I will differ in that a door designed to open out has hinges that are not capable of being disassembled from the outside and/or need special tools in order to be disassembled. Keep in mind commercial doors are designed to open out for safety reasons per code.

Regarding which direction is correct? Either is correct it depends most on preference. I personally like French doors that swing out. My major reason is a door that swings in removes usable space from the interior of a room which is more likely to be used more often than the outside. French doors compound the unusable space. In a large room with one set of doors that may not be that big of a deal. So room size will be a factor.

I also like when the door has enough room to open fully and lay back flat against the wall out of the way, again allowing more usable room on the outside.
