They can be made to fit together well, are durable and are easy to install. The roof needs to have a pitch of 3/12 or more. They are comparatively expensive but they do have a long life.
Interesting you put Solar Shingles at the top of the list...

It's probably because Solar Shingles are where your heart is. I' say definitely go with solar shingles, at least on the face(s) of the roof that gets hit by sun.

Break out of tradition, go with a roof of the future!

Don't look back.

Best,
