QUICK ANSWER
An insulated garage door slows heat moving through the sections. It does not turn the garage into a conditioned room by itself. In Anaheim that still matters on west-facing openings that radiate heat into the house wall.
Insulation is a construction choice, separate from whether the face looks traditional or modern.
What the insulation does and does not do
A thicker section is heavier. The installation has to include springs matched to that weight, or the opener will strain. Insulation also quiets the door a bit. It will not fix a noisy roller. Those are rollers and cables.
