I have one layer of asphalt shingles at the moment and am in North
Carolina. So what's your opinion, asphalt or fiberglass?

I would definitely go with steel shingles if you are looking for an
easy DIY re-roofing material. Especially in a hurricane region. You
dont have to take the old asphalt shingles down. You can buy steel
shingles on ebay:

just make sure you dont get screwed by this seller (see previous
thread for details). Also, you can contact these wholesalers:
