Door Weatherstripping Question

I have an exterior door in a new addition that needs to be weatherstripped (I live in Wisconsin). It is a 36" oak door that is hung in a home-built oak frame. Door is 1-3/4" thick, solid core, with 1/2" stops on both sides and top.

I plan on using a rubber bulb sweep, or equivalent, for the bottom threshold. What type of weatherstripping should be used for sides and top? Should it be on stops, on side of door frame, or interlocking on both door and frame? Any good systems that are made for older doors?

Thanks for the help!

Any v-channel type stripping should do just fine. or you can use a adhesive foam strip.
