I have nothing to add to your original question but I do have some input on the roof vents your contractors suggested - do it!!! I installed an attic fan several years back as these are supposed to help with the cooling bills. Our attic fan ran almost continuously from mid-morming to late evening in the summer. We had our roof replaced and had the roofers install the roof vents... the fan has not run in the last two years. We noticed that our house also remained cooler in the summer.

Absolutely key, at least here in Maryland.
References are a must...I gooned it by not doing my due diligence four years ago. The first significant storm enabled both the proverbial cat and dog to enter the house
We are just know fixing the ceilings, flashing, etc. on the roofers insurance...not an easy pull, but we're almost done, with a different roofer!
Nothing is more important than a roof.
