The steeper the pitch of any roof, the more resistance it has to developed live loads, such as snow or ice. The difference between a 3/12 and a 4/12 is not great, but the 4/12 is stronger. Another issue to consider is the roof's ability to shed water...3/12 is typically the shallowest pitch recommended for both metal and ashaltic type shingles. A 4/12 is a step better and is more likely to prevent failures during the life of the roof and will serve the roofing warrantee better.
