You have a metal roof, why not do steel siding? We had it prior to a tornado and went with it again for rebuilding. Low maintenance, easy to clean and takes a lot more heat than stucco before it goes up.
Didn't really want the house to look like a pole building. Like I said, if I could find some old barn metal, I'd be all over it.
