Usually the labor on a large or complicated roof, and the decking nobody could see until the old roof came off. The square count drives the labor and the materials together, and extra layers add to tear-off and disposal. That is why those lines should be priced separately on every quote you compare.

There are usually two. The manufacturer's warranty covers the materials; the roofer's workmanship warranty covers the installation. Terms differ by product and by installer, and some makers' longest terms apply only to certain homes: one major maker's lifetime limited warranty applies only to single-family detached homes owned by individuals. Ask every roofer to name both warranties in writing.
