With shingles, you want them to be in a straight line as this is going to provide enough overlap to ensure the shingles do not leak.
You also want to look for flashing. Flashing is one of the most common places for leaks and making sure that your roof is flashed properly is a must. You also want to check for starter shingles. At the start of the roof there should be a starter shingle that allows the roof a solid place to start from that is going to be very secure and keep the wind from flowing it up.
