[QUOTE="Obi-Wan, post: 448867, member: 709"] I think metal roof require more maintenance. Depending on the type of metal, nearly every roof penetration relies on caulking to keep water tight which should be a yearly maintenance issue especially if you are talking sheet metal. Many go to metal thinking they will not have to replace the metal after a hail storm. While the hail typically won't cause an issue with the roof leaking it is an appearance problem, while you may be able to live with the appearance, a potential buyer most likely would require the roof to be replaced or deducted from the price of the house. I was told many insurance companies now are not replacing a metal roof for appearance reasons. Ask yourself if your siding was hail damaged on your house would you leave it or have it replaced ?
