I would recommend going with the widest option of ridge vent available. It should be the same material as your roof and edging (forgot the name of it). That's what we did and we also got rid of as many vents in the roof as possible. I went with a ventless hood in the kitchen and added some interior vent traps for the bathrooms.

  You're welcome. Also, I forgot to mention but make sure you get the kind of screws that are made for wood at the tip but also metal. We are in process of DIY our farmhouse metal roof with the screws from the store where we ordered the roofing. Big mistake! Our home in town in much steeper and larger so I hired someone to do it. My husband talked to them and ended up getting a 5 gallon bucket of the "right" screws from them. Luckily we weren't too far in on the farm project and didn't have to re-do much.
