Composition shingle is the most common covering in El Segundo and the cheapest to renew, but it is also the first to show UV damage. Mixing materials across a El Segundo roof is fine provided each section gets the system it needs and the transitions are flashed properly.
Two warranties apply on El Segundo work: the manufacturer's on the material and the installer's on the workmanship. Ask for both.

Drainage is the cheapest maintenance on any El Segundo building — blocked outlets cause more deterioration here than the storms themselves.

Put simply, a El Segundo quote that comes in far below the others is usually missing the flashing, the permit or the disposal. Square footage is only half the cost of a El Segundo roof; pitch, access and layer count move the number as much.
