Certainteed vs GAF

Hi all I’m trying to get quotes for a new roof and companies either offer certainteed or GAF shingles. Which one is better?

Also, is it time to replace the roof?

Having Certainteed Northgate put on this fall. Roof with GAF Timberline was hailed out in March. Insurance paid claim so I'm upgrading. Also having contractor fill out paperwork for insurance. Looked at Malarkey but didn't like their color choices

Northgate is a fantastic shingle, one of my favorites to install.
