Depending on the location of your garage door, I'd suggest using a commercial style roll up door. My garage door faces an alley so I did not need to be overly concerned with appearance. I installed a roll-up door to preserve ceiling height for a storage lift. There are many nice options out there and you can get electronic operators and insulation, etc. just like you would have with a regular garage door.
However...if I had a driveway or if the door was on the front of my house, the commercial roll up style would look a little too industrial.
Or if your door is not on a gable wall, you can run a standard door virtually vertically along the rake of the roof and use only minimal ceiling space. This requires stick framed rafters and is not possible with trusses...maybe with steep scissor trusses.
