Yes, that is the type of metal roof you want to use for a house. The metal shingles are nice however the exception to your statement is that a true standing seam is a premium product. With either of these types there are no exposed fasteners. Most of the metal in my area is indeed the 'corrugated' style barn roof. Again they are good for a pole barn, livestock and ag purposes but I would never put one on a house.
No idea on metal shingles, when I priced my last standing seam job (I dont do roofs anymore) 5 years ago it was around $1000. per 100 sf. Prob more now.
