Here's some thoughts. On the farm our pig barn had a metal roof that was 24" wide, flat pan. 1" standing seam. It got nailed down with 16 penny nails. We took it off after 50+ years because the building was out of vogue with our need. I also agree with Hank that pitch makes a big difference in in performance of any roof. I inherited a one car garage that was a 12/12 pitch and had shingles over cedar shakes. At the time the shingles had backed off and the cedar shakes were cracked enough you could see stars through the roof. It didn't leak as much as you would expect because the water would migrate down the steep roof before it would come through the cracks. We put tin on it.
Shingles have less of the good stuff today then ever. I've changed out too many 35-50 shingles at 15 years to feel good about asphalt shingles. My old house dies not vent like the new houses and my 15 year old shingle roof is going to be replaced with steel. My neighbor's house is 17 old and I helped him put tin on inplaxe of his shingles 3 years ago because his shingles were cracked and failing. His house is new, vented attic, moderate shade, and good wind protection.
At this time I think steel is a better roof option than asphalt. I've done both the ag-profile 36" sheet and the narrower hidden fastener standing seam. I would agree that the residential standing seam probably looks and performs better, but the ag- profile is more cost effective.

Today's Featured Article - New Hitches For Your Old Tractor - by Chris Pratt. For this article, we are going to make the irrational and unlikely assumption that you purchased an older tractor that is in tip top shape and needs no immediate repairs other than an oil change and a good bath. To the newcomer planning to restore the machine, this means you have everything you need for the moment (something to sit in the shop and just look at for awhile while you read the books). To the newcomer that wants to get out and use the machine for field work, you may have already hit a major roadblock. That is the dreaded "proprietary hitch". With the exception of the
