Onduline roofing sheets

I have about 200sq.ft of temporary roofing that needs to be done. I was considering Onduline sheets. Has anyone used it and have any feedback. How does it compare with PPGi sheet, Corrugated PVC sheet or laminated glass in terms of performance and cost.

I too was suggested not to recharge borewell by my architect.
