On a shed, metal wins. Our buildings come standard with high-gauge metal roofs, and there's a good reason for that. Metal handles snow load better, sheds water faster, regulates temperature more effectively, and lasts significantly longer than asphalt shingles. In Michigan, where you're dealing with heavy snow, freeze-thaw cycles, and everything in between, a metal roof just performs better.
Shingle roofs work fine on houses where you've got a steep pitch and regular maintenance. On a shed, metal is the more durable, lower-maintenance choice. It's one of those things that comes standard with our buildings because it's simply the better option for the application.
