"Wondering which is a better route"..................What are you asking? Which vendor ? Which price? or what other routes are there besides new doors? Don't understand the question yet.
There are 5 other options. We don't have any idea what "need work" means either.
1. Donor door
2. Donor patch
3. New patch panel
4. Make a patch
5. Fix the dents
The OP's question was, "Does anyone have experience with repro doors?"
Your answer would be "No."
