I have got plain old channel drain screwed directly to the 1x2 wood furring strips from the orignal wood shingles. About 15 years since I put this on and replaced the old coregated steel that was on for years. what I was conserned about was the old smooth nails were starting to get loose in the boards and afraid the wind would take it off. The barn roof is just nailed to the old wood shingles with many of the nails not hitting anything except the rotten shingle. Any tin fastened sollidly will last for years with no wind damage. And if you have any trees if a limb falls on it you are not as likely to have the tree in the bedroom sticking down in the bed with somebody under it. Also sparks will not set tin on fire.
