Hi Tom, theres no real preferance, the lead comes in 12"(600mm) rolls so it depends on where the chase line on the chimney comes for the upstand of the apron and whats every left is used to lap over the last slate course.
Ive seen zinc and copper used as flashing but over here lead is the prefered material.

Tom, I generally cut and fold the term flashing so the exposure is about the same as the shingles. 5" is standard on most roofs. Seldom, if ever over 6".
Anything less than 4" is wrong, IMHO.
