First year in house. Daylight coming through 6" of front door. Need to upgrade weather strip. Whats the god-tier solution, or is it all the same?

I cut a piece of yoga mat/ used some duct tape and put a strip around my bedroom door as in the mornings the sunlight comes through the back sliding door and shoots down the hallway. This fixed it, but looks ugly as fuck. So idk up to you.

Theres multiple options at home I'm provement stores.
The "whisker" type is meh grade.
The rubber type (hollow tube basically) is better but you have to have the exact height or it will fail sooner..
>>
Check that the door is hanging square. If it isn't fix that first. If it still needs weather strip use the staple on type or you will constantly be replacing it

My favourites are the rubber type you nail up when the door is closed together with the self adhesive foam type you stick between the door and the jamb, I've got that on all my doors because we can get down to -60 here.

Seconding this.

My house is 120 yrs old, fucking cold in winter until I hunted all the holes, doors were the worst.

Nail on rubber strip, and sticky back foam strip work best.

Spring bronze all the way around the sides of the jamb to seal against the edges of the door

This. At least to start with. Making sure the door is square will make whatever weather stripping option you choose all the more effective.
