Simplicity is not in dispute. The fitted reasonably the Wood offers more support over the area of the whole tube that the wood is inside of and the wood can flex/bend some and return to shape and it won't matter what position the door is in.
I think both the wood and the angle iron could be used together and the result would be better then just one method. But, I am not there to actually see it.
The person fixing the garage door will do what they think is best.
I have been up on my roof part of each of the last 3 days because I did not patch up the roof well enough several years ago. I did what was simple to do at the time with the materials a I has on hand. (In between then and now I acquired most of what I needed to do a better job but never got my Butt up there and did the job better.)
Now I have to do a much more extensive job. And that is not including the damage the leaks did inside.
