Just my experience: I reshingled proffesionally back in 1998. Not one
contractor (out of 5) would quote me fiber glass shingles. Everyone told me
they didint hold up to Chicago's climate. Now its 2008, new house, and I
have to do some patching. I go to a big box store expecting to buy Asphalt
shingles. Not one store carried them. All Fiber glass. I suspect which is
better is going to boil down to whats sold in your area.
