I'd rather go through the wall. The less I disturb the shingles the better
I like it. I also don't want any heat from the stack warming up the attic.
The attic should be as cold as possible to keep the roof as cold as
possible. Ice damming is a bitch.
Use 45-degree elbows instead of 90-degree elbows if possible.
