This^^^^^^^. I replaced the roof on my former home with metal, and my current home already has metal roof on it. With the winds we get in Ohio, asphalt roofs are a waste of time. Both of the roofs will outlast me.
My former home was on the edge of a field, with very little wind breakers. I can't tell you how many times I was up there repairing the roof after a wind storm since I moved in there in 2005. House was built in 1996, and the roof had been repaired before we had it, from wind damage. Not to mention I could never find shingles to match the original roof, so it looked bad where it was repaired.
In the long run, metal is actually cheaper, plus a few guys can put one on without any real experience. I put one on the lean to I built by myself. No leaks on a fairly flat roof either.
