Since manufacturers tend to be regional, and installers local, can't help you with that.
Here, with frequent severe weather and moderate snow loads, most people find a shed adequate for RVs and farm equipment, prefab metal, custom-built metal, or open-ended pole barns. Most people I know who have gone all the way to enclosed barns did so because they planned to heat it and work in there during the winter, thiugh many no longer heat since fuel costs have gone up so much.
What you can build will also depend on building codes. My current location, I would have to build a garage, and garage plus house would have to satisfy current setbacks and easements; the existing buildings do not, but are grandfathered, thus I could repair my garage, but could not replace it with a new building on the same slab :(
We have quite a few metal structures grandfathered jin places where new ones can no longer be built, too. This has people with space needs moving outside city limits or to more rural jurisdictions in other counties. But the general idea, you might decide what you prefer to build, what is practical for your needs, and building codes will tell you what you can build, and where on the property. If you want utilities to the building, check with water and power providers, we've run into cases where a circuit could not be run from the existing meter, utility rules requiring a new connection.
