If you are going to need catchment, you may have limited options (there are some very artistic metal roofs (tile & shake profiles) & ones (like the Protec line) that do not need as much support structure....
So the first thing to determine....catchment need
Then, what is readily available (some great roofing products are not widely available here, which will add $$$, time & lack of easy repair..)
Also the drafting of the carport structure & permit may spec out the roof...so that might also limit options (forgoing a permit may add complications down the line...but that is not a "for sure" just "may"...unless you have neighbors that will determine your compliance....but that has been covered in many other threads...)
