I just reroofed after 20 yrs.
Chose shingles because I have too many trees close to the house that drop stuff on it, and I believed that metal would show the dents.

We went with metal 10 yrs ago...had a insulating layer put down first then the Metal roof...
we can now walk around in our attic in the middle of summer...it's still hot!!! but...

Really like it!
Cost was more than shingles but we do save money on insurance! Not sure any more compared to shingles!

Metal.  It was after a shingle roof had begun to fail 10 years after installation.  

Apparently there's been improvements in shingles over the past few years, and metal does have corrosion problems at oceanfront.
