My passenger door will not close from the inside. I have to close it from with outside while lifting up on the handle. I was first told that I just needed to replace the pins. But was then told that I need to replace both of the hinges. Now I am again told just to replace the pins. What is the right and cheapest way to go?

The pin's are the cheapest way to go there only a 1.65 per pin and bushing's plus shipping. You have to look at the hinge itself where the bushing sits in the hinge if the bushing wear's too bad then the pin begins to wear into the hole the bushing sits into if it goes too long like that then the hole becomes oblong and the new bushing won't sit correctly into the hinge. If that happens then you will have no choice but to replace the whole hing.
