Metal runs roughly double shingle cost up front and commonly lasts two to three times as long, with the strongest wind performance of the common systems, which is why it keeps winning on storm coasts and in hail country. It asks for fastener and seam maintenance over its life rather than replacement. Shingles cost less now and repair in small sections easily. The honest comparison is cost per year of service on your exposure, and a roofer should be able to show you that arithmetic for both.
