Can Roofing Improve Insulation?

I will be having a new roof installed in the spring. It will be a complete tearoff with new valley and ice damming flashing. I have not installed a roof in over 20 years, so I need to know if there are new roofing products that will improve the energy efficiency or longevity of the roofing. The roof will be installed on a brick ranch house, 1300 sq. ft. with attached 2 1/2 car garage. Can anyone tell me what to look for in improved roofing since the last time I looked (1988)?
