Stripping back 3 or 4 tiles. New felt/batten?

Hi guys.

Getting some scaffold put up as I intend to strip back 3 or 4 tiles and replace batten and old felt that has eroded.

What is a good quality felt to use as I notice there are many types?

Is it worth fitting rigid felt tiles? Or is it overkill with correct felt (1m wide).

Cheers

Any BBA approved breathable membrane. Some do vent better than others. We supplement our roofs with OFV's and use dry ridge etc.
