metal roof: good
cons: just make sure the installers understand the proper torque setting on their drill drivers. So the idjits don't grind off the rubber gaskets. Get a straw hat,lemonade and watch them all day.
also: make them lathe out the roof with 1X4. Do not let them put metal in direct contact with shingles.

Make sure your insurance will cover a house with a metal roof. There is a significant % that do not... and most of the ones that do, there is a up charge for it....
This is due to the Fire department not being about to access the roof in the case of a fire (harder to cut through and or get on too)

the fire dept did more damage to my uncles house than the fire when they got done, every sheet of sheetrock came off the ceiling from water damage, they took a chainsaw and cut about 10 holes in the roof that a mule could jump through. Only thing burning was the laundry room.
anyway, I just to add that.
but as for the metal, yeah the insurance co ain't gonna give him really jack toward metal. They'll depreicate his pants off just on the shingles.
the metal will be mostly 'out of pocket' by James (k8)

Go with a standing seam metal roof. Costs more but worth it...

My vote is 50 year architectural! I push the metal, but I personally went with the 50year Certainteed Carriage House Shangles on mine.
