I need some advice on locks! I'm considering whether to go with an exact replacement for my current lock plus a deadbolt, upgrade to a high-security lock, or switch to a keyless keypad. What do you all think? Thanks in advance!

Before diving into what kind of lock to choose, you should consider what your main goal is. Are you prioritizing ease of use, security, or how it looks? Knowing that can help narrow down your options. If security is your top priority, a high-security lock could be the way to go.
Keypads can be really convenient, but I have my doubts about their reliability. I installed one on my backdoor, and it works well, but I'm a bit cautious about how secure they truly are. Just keep in mind that if your new lock is smaller than your old one, it might leave a patch of the door exposed that could look off or get weathered over time.
