Yes, CertainTeed has been around for over 100 years and has good products.
I have them on my house.

I don't know if the price difference is good or bad since that depends on
the size of your roof. The only time you need the 110 shingles is when the
wind is over 85 mph. If I lived where you live, I'd spend the extra and get
them.
