S-5! bracket alternatives.

I'm currently planning out my roof mounted solar on a metal roof and have had difficulty finding a mounting bracket brand other than s-5. Their Protea and ridge bracket I both work for my setup but I was hoping to look at other solutions before i settled on the only brand I could find.
the three criteria besides fitting that I am looking for are price, strength and having a retailer in the u.s or with reasonable shipping to the us.
attached image is a quick and dirty googled approximate of my roof panels.
Thanks for your help!

I just got a system from Northern Arizona wind and solar utilizing Ironridge XR rails and L feet with ufo attachments. Same type roof. I will be putting it on my shed next to the well for h2o pumping. Just 4 275w panels connecting to a Grundfos 6 SQF 3 via a io 101 switch. No experience, still researching the installation and wondering how to get the panels up there safely once I get the rails on.
I was looking at the SnapnRack system also but the rails are 14 feet long which entails expensive freight charges. The Ironridge come in 7 ft. sections and ship via ups.?
