A shingle roof is only as good as what is under it
Shingles shed water, but they rely on underlayment, protective membranes at eaves and valleys, correct nailing, and proper ventilation. Skipping any of those can shorten a roof's life no matter how good the shingle is.
Choosing a shingle is also a design decision. Color and profile shape how the whole house looks from the street.
