Repair damaged roof or replace it?

I own a duplex in the DFW area, that has hail and wind damage from storm that happened in November.  I had a roofing company give me a quote ($675) on the repairs which he recommended filing a claim with my insurance company.  So, I did and the adjuster said the roof only looked bad in the area with the hail and wind damage but would recommend a new roof because it looked a around 15 years old.  My insurance company did agree with the adjuster's recommendation to replace the roof.  

Now, I'm not to sure if I want to replace the roof or repair the damage area.  To replace the roof I will be required to pay a $2000 deductible or I could repair the damaged area; which could cause me lose my roof coverage after 1 year, if not replace.  Also, I may consider selling it within the next year or two.   

What would you do?
