Wanna pop up-over to Tiverton when this is all over and have look at how the forum helped me build mine?
I'd go for a pitched roof. It looks right.

I responded to that query above but I could be wrong as only an amateur on the subject?

What’s the cost/time impact if you over engineer by cross bracing between the rafters?

Noggins are fixed between studs because the load is downwards coming from above and that can buckle, rather than twist, the studs.
The roof rafters have a load above them, but nothing near as much as the vertical studs do.
I created a torsion box with my roof and I think others have, too. I don't think rafters buckle if the are the correct thickness and width according the the tables. The roof's greater problem is preventing condensation rotting timber due to inadequate ventilation.

Huh? It does the precise opposite. For the same external height you get a higher ceiling with a cold deck. I mean, go for a warm deck by all means, but this isn't one of the reasons to choose it.

For best results take all your photos in landscape view with the volume control button at the bottom of the camera. If you have photos that have been taken in other orientations, then try bringing them into iPhoto and uploading them to the forum from there
