On another note my loft is also very wet due to the weather and have to dry every day

Buster, you have mentioned before that your lofts get wet. Why is that?
Is the roof leaking or is the rain getting in elsewhere?
Just wondering.

Best of all, because it is so strong, it does not need a lot of framing to support it. In fact, in a peaked roof, the steel is the load bearing member. The framing is just to screw it into place.
I would never use anything else.

I would put the OSB over as a ceiling. Nail down well all around. Then lay 2x2 or 3x2 or whatever stock sizes you have over there, the length of the shed, one at the front, one at the back and one in the middle. Nail the outside ones down and put screws up from underneath in the middle. That is now rigid.
Screw your sheets down into those battens. That will not sag.

I hate flat roofs.
