"Pitched is far more effective dealing with excessive weather ie heavy rain and snow.
And it is more thermal efficient , however it is more expensive and if your home is of a complex structure. A flat roof would be more advisable"

"More storage space but more cost of materials
More ventilation
In the long run it is better I would say"
