As far as roof venting goes, I prefer just a good quality ridge vent and good soffit vents. Turbine vents look ugly, and down the road are prone to bearing failure.
Solar vents are more expensive and can stop working. Power vents can be good, but then again you are disrupting the natural flow of heat rising, etc. While they are not bad at all, and can help, power venting should not be really needed if passive venting is properly designed and installed. Just my humble opinion...certainly not the only opinion.
