I've already learned that I'll need 2 layers under 3-tab shingles. Would #30 be preferable vs. #15? Reason I'm asking is that it's a small roof (about 75 square feet) and 1 roll is enough. I'm thinking that the heavier stuff might offer more protection, and I won't have a bunch of leftovers. Any problems there?
