Ridge Vents vs static vent

Ridge vent combined with plenty of soffit vents will get you the better and more complete air exchanges of the two options.

I am installing a metal roof over existing shingled roof. The previous roofers did not install roof vents. I have a standard rectangular hip roof with long running soffit vents that wrap the entire house. I am trying to decide which venting style is better...ridge vent or static vents, with this type of installation considering ease of installation, weather tightness, and overall energy efficiency. And dependent on which type, what is the best installation method for the vents with the new metal roof over shingles? Thanks.

Right on. Not to mention it will make the roof look cleaner too!
