The NAHB (National Association of Home Builders) rates slate as by far the longest lasting roofing material, with a life expectancy of 150+ years, followed closely by clay and concrete at roughly 100 years.

Metal roofs can last 40-70 years, depending on the material. Traditional asphalt roofing materials have an estimated life expectancy of roughly 12-20 years.

When installed correctly, rubber roofing material is incredibly strong and can withstand wind uplifts of up to 110 mph. This also means that rubber shingles are also able to withstand hailstone impact from hail up to 2-inches in diameter without damage.

No matter which you choose, it's not going to be cheap. With that in mind, a metal roof will always be more expensive than shingles. Not only do the metal panels themselves cost more than asphalt shingles, but a metal roof also requires more skill and labor to install.
