If you want the best, we had the slate tile roof and these are indestructible. Each tile is 1” think or thicker, each tile is over 11lbs, the roof is built with a double roof so these slate tiles are a few inches above the regular roof so if for some reason a tile gets cracked or if you develop a leak, the underlying roof will prevent any leaks. We had this on 1 of our houses and we loved the looks and quality. The only drawback is the expense and your roof has to be able to support the weight.

I had metal roof for 10 years. Never had leak, only racketball size hail would put small dent in it. They are little louder during heavy thunder storms. If you had metal roof and it leaked it was installed/sealed wrong just like get leaks from shingled roof. Which by The way had several leaking from free roof installations in my area, guess get what pay for. I would never get tile roof just cause the weight or tile. But that’s me. I can from state where actually had severe storms regularly not once in decade like down here in central Florida.
