Metal roofs will start leaking at the screws every 7-10 years.
That is not my experience at all. There are buildings on my farm that have metal roofs that have been on 50 years without changing a single screw.
On a house I prefer the look of a standing seam roof. I know of several in my area that are over 20 years old and have had zero problem.
Majority of problems are installation errors. If you over torque the screws on an exposed screw roof then the washer will be damaged.
Having said that a lot of the early roofs were 5v tin that was screwed through the high spots and not through the flats.

Metal is way to go. Use a heavy gauge R-panel hail won't dent it. There are screws called ZAC screws have lifetime warranty

When I did my ag panel roof (3/4" high ridges) I used extra long screws and went through them instead of the flats. Got poked at a bit by some baws for going unconventional but I feel much better about placing all my screw holes on ridges instead of in flats.
As far as insurance I've heard of people actually getting a reduction if 26ga metal is used.
To the OP, sorry, I have been no help to you.
