Preferred in Florida? 75 percent of new roofing projects are asphalt shingles versus 18 percent for metal roofs. But, in The Villages, the percentage of asphalt shingle roofs is even higher. Whenever I replace a major component of my house, I use the most standard component because I know that the contractors will be familiar with it, and, when I need to get it repaired, I won't have a problem getting the materials.
I remember another thread where a poster had waited 4 months for a circuit board to repair a fancy variable speed HVAC compressor. If he had bought a standard one-speed compressor, it would have been repaired in less than a day.
