Is the new metal roofing any good? I see alot of houses with it now. Is
it just a fad or does it work as it was engineered to work?

Its good - called, usually, "standing seam". It must be installed properly.
When comparing divergent products the lower gauge number means a heavier
duty material. Its not for walking on or for areas where there is a high
risk of things dropping on it. It can dent.
