Re: tying the porch roof into the main house... I'll add I'd also go with 5/8 CDX ply for the roof sheathing. That added 1/8 goes a long way to resist uplift , and as you know wind in your area is a BIG issue.
Porches very commonly have some sort of flat-roof surface. This means that roll roofing materials are commonly used as opposed to traditional shingles. Making sure that water doesn't build up on top of the roof can prevent the structure from rotting and reduce the risk of buckling.
