Its easier. Disadvantage is that on too wide a building you can't get enough
strength to put up with significant snow load without lots of extra
structure.The other disadvantage is you get a short side or a very tall side...

What's the advantage of a single slope roof?

Depends on how tall you want it. Thats a pretty easy size to work with. Figure
out what kind of roof you want and work from there. At that size and
considering where you live I'd say you could get away with a single slope roof
without too much worry.
I need to build a woodshed (really a drying shed) at camp, its probably going
to end up at 7' or 6.5' square so I can use 8' roofing with an overhang. We'll
be able to store just under 2 cords of firewood which when you add the half
cord we keep in a stack next to the camp will be plenty. It'll be a single
slope post and beam from spruce I'm going to cut onsite. I've got one upright
already cut although I need to modify an old boat trailer to haul it out of the
wood. I'd underestimated how HEAVY an 8" by 10' spruce tree would be, or maybe
I'd overestimated my ability to haul trees as I've aged.

I need to build a 10X14 back yard shed on a slab. What's the best building
plan? This is for storage only.

About 10 years ago we had a garage built at camp. I don't remember the actual
dimensions but its a car and a half wide and deep. Its now pretty much full
with the Super M, 2 lawn tractors a swamp buggy and a small workbench. We'd
like to have a little loader tractor so we're talking pretty seriously about
another building, probably the same size which would allow me to keep a
snowmobile or two up there as well.
Actually Dad brought up the idea of building ANOTHER bunkhouse. About 5 years
ago he had a 10x12 added onto the side of the camp that has 4 bunks in it but
it really should have been 12x14 since you get 3 hunters in there and theres
nowhere to put anything so one bottom bunk is just storage. Now he wants to
build another 10x12 next door for added sleeping space.
Its a sickness...

You need a big shed to put them all in. That will be the SWMBA
happiness solution!
