I'm thinking that safely using all available height will eek out a bit more signal. The terrain nearby is significant but not insurmountable.
As a rule of thumb, within one wavelength, there is quite a bit of interaction between an antenna and other metal, greater separation is almost always better. Flat metal roofing will act as a reflector, but sitting here, I have no way to predict the exact effect.
So the best I can do is suggest that the installer be ready to experiment with mounting location and elevation. They'll have more adjustment available with a 10' mast as opposed to a 5'.
