I recently got my roof done, and I went through the same sort of process.

I found that rubber and metal seemed to cost too much for what they offered over asphalt shingles. I also found their sales people to be very pushy and annoying (one guy told me using asphalt shingles was equivalent to using a newspaper...) - that always raises alarm bells with me as a good product should sell itself.

In the end I went for higher quality asphalt shingles, which I think gave me good quality without breaking the bank. Got Malarkey Legacy shingles, which gave a 50 year warranty and had a class 4 impact rating (good for up to 2" hail), and the total cost was just a bit under $9,000. I'd say my house is roughly equal size to yours, though we do have shallow angles, which meant less material than other houses with steeper pitches.

Hope that helps!
