I have yet to see a widely available copper roof panel--I have seen small copper roofs on outcroppings of bay windows--but never an entire roof in copper.
The only disadvantage to a metal roof is the inital cost--other than that, they are far superior to a shingle roof in every way. We install alot of metal roofs on industrial/commercial buildings(both standing seam and screw-down) and our office building has a standing seam roof that has been in-place since 1983 without any issues.
If you do get a standing seam roof, you should also get ice guards over any mandoors/garage doors or even along each eave--very inexpensive and can prevent a large chunk of ice/snow from damaging a person and/or anything it may strike.
