I have been going over this same issue for the past 6 months. After scouring the internet looking at dozens of different option from S&S to pole barn and metal building kits I've finally decided on a VersaTube garage on a concrete slab.
The building will be 20' X 48" with a 14 H X 16 W sectional door plus a 3' walk in door. I'm also pulling 100 A power for the MH plus garage electrical circuits.
Why the Versatube? Looks reasonably simple to assemble and, so far, the customer service has been great. No problem speaking with anyone in the company about various issue and the price is OK.
A close second was a metal arch type building from American Steel Span which is actually about 3K cheaper but everything about the company triggers mental alarm bells. They may be cheaper but trying to pull detailed info is like taking to a used car salesman or a politician.
One big problem I'm dealing with today is the recently discovered 60' setback requirement which may put the garage on top of my septic leach line. Hopefully this issue will be settled soon when the septic guy comes out to stake the leach lines. Fingers crossed I won't have to move the field.
