An important roof type is missing - metal. This can be in the form of standing seam, ag panel, corrugated, metal shake "look", metal three tab "look", etc.
All kinds of metal roofs.
The cost is determined by the number of "squares" (100 sq feet).
Jeff also had good comments on contractors, bids and DIY.
In the LA area, fire danger is important to consider and metal roofs are fire proof in all but the most extreme conflagrations.
And metal roofs get you a substantial discount on your home insurance. In your area, I suggest you not put up a shake roof or any wood roof - just too dangerous despite the attractive look.
