Right into the gutters. Commercial/intitutional metal roofs around here increasingly have these little cross brackets/cleats mounted near the bottom to prevent ice and snow from sliding down all at once and trashing the gutters.

We currently have 5 metal roofs, on barns & outbuildings ranging from 72'x136' to 6'x8'. IME they will last much longer than shingles, but you have to pay attention to rust spots and repaint as necessary. We have one which I touch up about every year, while the largest just got it's second complete paint job after 21 years. That's a 4 figure job, but a lot cheaper than reroofing.

P.S. We have a commercial fake stone manufacturer across the road from us, but all I know is they use a lot of groundwater for their concrete.
