I was sent on a near-wild goose chase regarding the exclusive use of plywood roof sheathing on wood trusses. My understanding is that, sure, plywood is the most common BUT there's nothing the available literature (MBMA Roofing Manual, et al) prohibiting the use of metal decking on wood trusses.

Another part of the problem is that you have two different trades installing the products. If you use wood decking, the
glulam installer, generally would also install the deck.
I am involved in 20 to 30 projects a year which use glulams with deck. I see maybe one project a year which uses metal deck.
I agree with JAE that standing seam roofing is not adequate to laterally brace the trusses and the building.
