Patio door: hinged, lift-and-slide or parallel sliding and hinged?

What would you recommend as a patio door?
Swing door, lift-slide door, parallel sliding and hinged door. Width: about 2 m.
What size aisle would be for a sliding door with a total width of 2m? Please advice from your experience.

A sliding door really doesn't make sense at 2m.
We have a 2.50m sliding door, and I just measured that the passage with the door fully open is only 1.10m.
At 2m height, I would recommend to use a double patio door.
Sliding or lift-sliding doors make little sense with an aisle width of 2.00m – in my opinion. Compared to a sculpted door, you reduce the aisle to 1.00m!
I also think that with a total door element width of 2m, sliding doors make little sense.
Rather, a bi-folding door then.
