I'd check out any of the "dimensional" asphalt shingles. They are available in numerous styles
these days, are warranteed from 30 years all the way up to "lifetime", and are class A fire rated. And they're available in 80mph wind ratings up to 110mph.
Manufacturers include:
Owens Corning
GAF
Certainteed
ELK
Malarkey
Tamko
First thing you might do is check to see what's allowed in your area by your local building dept.
All the above manufacturers have websites with great info, picts, installation requirements, etc.
