In terms of aesthetics, some would argue a concrete or clay tile roof is the best. If budget is a concern, asphalt shingles are a great option for an affordable system that doesn't sacrifice durability or curb appeal. For flat or low-sloped roofs, typically a TPO roof mechanically fastened will last the longest and provide benefits that are a byproduct of the material. Another option for flat roofs that is more cost effective, but less durable is polymer modified base and cap.
