I've put steel on both my houses and all my barns. Nice thing about it is, it sheds snow really well - and that's a big plus where I live.
Standing seam can be either with exposed fasteners (usually screws) or hidden. The hidden is more pricey and I'm not sure it's worth it.
In regard to lasting? I've got an 1850 barn with the original standing seam roof still on it. It has to be painted once in awhile, yes. And the seams are soldered which you don't see much anymore. But as far as the steel lasting - if cared for it can virtually last forever. The finish varies, I've seen some peel after 10 years.
You asked about trouble walking on it to clean a chimney? A pitch of 5/12 can still be walked on if it's dry and you're wearing the right shoes or sneakers. Any steeper than that, and you've got problems.
If you're going over asphalt shingles, you need to put down furring strips spaced no more than 24" apart, running the width of the roof.
