I am considering a standing seam
24-gauge Galvalume (16" panels) on a 4:12 pitch roof. This a ranch
home, very simple without any fireplaces or valleys. One roofing
expert suggested my installer use a clip ridge style and not a snap
lock system to secure the panels to the roof. Can you explain the
difference and pros and cons of each system? I saw an earlier post
from 2006 (http://tinyurl.com/27flf6x )about using ice & water shield
under the entire metal roof and not just the perimeter. I live in
Northern Ohio so ice is a major concern. My understanding is that a
metal roof, by its nature, is going to generate some condensation
underneath, so a good vapor barrier is critical. I fail to see how adding ice and water shield under the entire roof would not be a positive.

Allen's method is very good.
If you live in a colder climate and want some added insulation and barrier against ice damning, here is a link to a great article on just what Allen is talking about.

Point of note, ice damning is not as a result of the roof but actually as a result of heat and air loss from the living space. Show me a roof that ice damns and I will show you and attic that is poorly sealed and loosing energy.
