25 year roof or 30 year roof

I'm starting a remodel of a SFR and want advice on the roof. The roofing will completely be redone but I am not sure what shingles i should use. The 25 year ones are about 400 dollars cheaper. This is a fix and flip. Would buyers be less interested if i used the 25 year shingle ? or should i just go with the lifetime 30 year one. It'll be a completely new roof either way so i'm debating. Of course i always like the cheaper material.

Any feedback ?

They will never know,  I would just buy a shingle that looks like the rest of the neighborhood.  I think your overthinking.  I honestly doubt someone is going to pull up to the house and go  "Honey can't buy this one, thats not a 30year shingles" They are going to go "Wow luck honey a new roof, just think we don't have to buy a new roof for years"
