So far the steel roof is fine, it is not annoying when it rains. Everyone thinks of pole barns when they think of steel roofs. The difference is pole barns had nothing backing up the metal, your house roof still has the wood and that dampens all the noise out. My roof has 1 inch boards that was covered with plywood, the steel really doesn't make any noise at all, also there is a full attic up there too. Steel isn't the cheapest way to go but it will last a hell of a long time, or so they tell me.
I've found that 20 year shingles are good for about 15 years if you are very lucky, they tell me the steel is good for 50 years. I put steel up on my barn myself maybe 10 years ago, not the best job but it does the trick, anyway that is about 10 years old and looks like it was put up yesterday.
I don't know about a veranda, but we have a small deck off he back, mostly taken up by the hot tub that hardly ever gets used.
