Steel Roofing is by far the most common and typically the most sensible option because it is highly economical. Steel come in many different types, and they all hold paint finishes well (steel can be also be galvanized), and are usually quite durable. Aluminum Roofing however, is relatively soft, so it is more prone to denting and damage and it is also more expensive than steel. The positive side of aluminum roofing is that it won’t corrode the way steel can if the finish is scratched or damaged and it's even lighter than steel.
