I always use 26G on the roof and 29G on the sides. You can get galvalume in either guage.
I have seen hurricanes rip 29G from roofs leaving the screw with a small amount of torn metal around it still in the wood. 26G is much harder for the wind to tear.
Wind does not affect steel walls nearly as much as roofs so 29G is usually fine on the sides.
