We went with lightest roof shingles, extra insulation, and missed adding more roof vents, I would double the number of rook vents over the standard. . . with adequate inflow the attic will be cooler than without added, but i did not say cold
Houses faces east and garage door absorbs alot of morning sun and heat, and very hot to perform work, so the garage solutions are the biggest issue if you want to spend time in the garage during the summer months.
and ROI is for revenue producing investments, which a house is not, so only payback is the metric IF you want to financialize your decisions. If not, then buy whatever you feel enhances your remaining life span. . . and you can afford to live comfortably
