Often you can get a truss cheaper and then it is properly engineered
A truss would get rid of those miserable middle poles. That will save money too.
A truss could be the mono slope you are looking at.
It could be more of a regular peaked roof, which is stronger design.
Or could be a greatly offset peaked roof - pretty much combines the 2, mostly a big mono slope with a little bit of peak to the front side.
I would least like the big mono slope you plan.
And I would not like the middle poles at all.
Putting a door in an end wall, instead of the bays all along one side also allows a much wider door than the 12 foot bas you plan on.
12 foot is very limiting. The old shed dad built has 16 foot doors, and my dualed Ford TW20 tractor fits in that width, it does not fit in a 12 foot door.
I would imagine your goal is the most building for the dollars spend.
I think you could build a better shed for the same money by getting rid of the middle poles and using pre made trusses.
I would look at putting a wider door in an end wall, even if you keep the bays.
If you want advice on what works and what doesn't, you will need to provide a location, so folks can get a handle on your snow load and wind load. Here where I live your 6x6 poles would not handle either the wind load on that tall a building, nor the snow load on that big a roof. It would not even be close. However on the south, I see buildings built with what look like tinker toy size beams spanning 12 feet.......
Also, what are you using for siding/ roof tin I would guess, and are you putting the roof beams flat or on edge, and how far apart are you spacing them? Every little piece makes a difference.........

Today's Featured Article - Restoring a John Deere 2010 Diesel Tractor - by Jim Nielsen. Following seven years working in California's Silicon Valley, my wife, baby son and I moved back to Australia to retire. We bought a small 'farm' of about 50 acres near Bendigo, in the state of Victoria. I soon found that it would be very useful to have a tractor around the place for things such as grading our long drive and brush-hogging the fields. I was also embarking on planting 1000 eucalyptus trees, and hence I would need a ripper, small disk plow, sprayer etc. to get these things accompli
