Default Need help choosing between several roofing contractors and asphalt shingle brands

Looking for some feedback from anyone who has recently had a roof replaced by either McGinnis, SPS, or McHale roofers.
How was the experience and would you recommend any or all of the three companies?

Any advise re: choice of underlayment, drip edge replacement vs reusing preexisting drip edge, etc?

Most of the companies I have received bids from are not able to install a new roof for 4 to 5 weeks. One company said they could do it next week. Is that a red flag?

Also, any comments regarding using Owens Corning Duration architectural asphalt shingles versus CertainTeed Landmark asphalt shingles would be greatly appreciated.

I have heard that Certainteed shingles have more of a potential algae growth problem but that they are a heavier and therefore more desirable shingle then Owens Corning.
