Gutter guard?

My new house is building and the scaffolding is up for the roof tilers at
the moment. There are 2 large peppermint trees that overhangs the top
roof
of the house by about .5m - 1m.
I was thinking now would be a good idea to put some sort of gutter guards
in
those areas of the roof. I am hoping to do it myself since the scaffold
is
there.
I am looking for reommendation of the BEST product;
- That will last forever (as the roof will not be easy to get to once
the
scaffold is gone)
- That is readily available in Perth (Bunnings?)
- That is easy to install
- No bushfire risk here - inner suburban
I was quite impressed with a metal one that starts up the roof a bit and
slopes down over the gutter, the idea is that the more gradual slope allows
leaves to fall/blow/be hosed off rather than get stuck in a horizontal trap
over the guttering. I haven't used it so I cannot say if the claims
actually work.
BTW what is your plan for when the trees shed whole branches instead of just
leaves?
