Metal Tile Roofing Manufacturers?

Here's the set up- 2300 sq ft home, about to get a new roof. In the past 34 years I've had 4 roofs, (we live in hailstone alley, DFW TX), cedar shingle, aluminum shake look, plastic barrel tile, stone coated steel barrel tile. Cedar was old and destroyed within months of moving in, aluminum was destroyed by hail a few years later, plastic was a new product, poorly designed attachment system and crap color fastness, (strong winds broke the tabs off), the stone coated steel has lasted the longest but from a manufacturer now out of business after homeowners found out there was no UV protection on the colored granules. Looks like hell now, thank goodness for the most recent hail damage. I plan to go back with stone coated steel barrel tiles and the contractor is pushing Tefute brand. Given my history of poor choices, I'd like to hear from homeowners and roofers. Any experience with this brand? I've been researching and found numerous metal roof manufacturers. My main concern is durability of the coating, warranty and how long the maker has been in business. Not at all interested in standing seam. Fugly on a house, great on Pizza Hut. Anyone have better name brands? Looking at Worthouse, Boral, Tilcor, Tek and Decra. What is your best track record?
