We went with a hip roof for the simple fact that it came standard with the house we built. The next upgraded elevation was about $3,500 more. Figured I could better spend that elsewhere in the house.

On a practical note and I'm not sure if I'm right or not, the hip roof seems like it would handle strong winds better since it has no gables for the wind to catch.
