Roof replacement time, shingles again or metal?

My understanding of the shingle warranty is that you have to have a licensed contractor inspect it every year. That’s their loophole. We put standing seam on top of single layer of shingles. The only drawback is our cell phone signal is almost non existent. It wasn’t great b4 but worked in certain parts of the house. Now we use call over WiFi and it is fine. Also the fasteners they use today are way better if you go with regular metal roof instead of standing seam. Personally, I don’t mind the regular metal roof look and if you do have any damage, is much easier to repair. SS starts at one side and latches on to cover the previous strip and not sure how you get to the end where it started to repair a couple sheets (tree damage, etc) without tearing up the whole thing? Can where it’s latched be pealed apart?
