I would like some input on what type of flashings and vent jacks should be used with concrete tile roofing. It has a 50 year warranty and I want to be sure the flashings last as long as the roof.
There will be valley flashings,(not sure yet if they will be exposed or not), drip edge, vent pipe jacks and exhaust fan vents. I’ve heard copper might be the way to go, but I’d like to hear other thoughts in case the colors won’t match the roofing material.
The roof pitch is 12/12 in a somewhat windy area in the Pacific Northwest. Hot summers, a little rain and some years a couple feet of snow.
Thanks in advance for any advice.

It's difficult to go into enough detail here. Some are already complaining that posts are too long.
It's hard to beat lead flashings for certain applications. Sometimes it's soldered to galvanized iron for sake of economy and durability. Lead can be formed by hand to conform to the shapes of barrel and S-shaped tiles.
Check approved details from the various concrete tile manufactures such as Monier. They each should have an Installation Manual for the different styles of tile. Details vary accordingly.
