How problematic is oil canning and roof leaks? Are performance issues usually install related instead of the choice of roof system itself?

TIA
 
In the past, oil canning was not regarded as a defect and thus, not warranted. A poor installation will cause any roof to leak as the devil is in the details, particularly when it comes to roof penetrations and how well they're flashed + sealed.
 
Get striated or minor ribs to fight oil canning. Oil canning is guaranteed on flat pan metals. If the install is done to factory spec you'll have a lifetime roof. Also you can attach solar panels to the ribs with no roof penetrations!
