Unfortunately due to the height of the ceiling and stove, 45s are not possible.
Chimney height?

My cousin was cheap and refused to use double wall or triple for his wood stove ( and his was in far better shape than yours) I begged him to just buck up and do it t right . He ran it outside his wall up over the roof . He said he'd moniter it and burn only dry wood but I insisted that it would not insulate the gases from getting cold and sticking nasty creosote inside it .. Well That lasted a couple months right up to the day his flue finally caught fire like I said it would and it took off like a blow torch it sent a wild fireworks display all over his roof , fortunately he was awake and the house didn't catch on fire . Triple wall stainless is pricey but not as pricey as a new home or garage ..some things are worth investing in . If you don't have the money ,then save till you do
Right. Always used Selkirk Metalbestos SS double wall insulated chimneys for customers, friends, us. Tried the triple wall only once in a camp, but it's OK but cheaply made.
3 houses we built with steel Metalbestos flues have stood up perfectly for near 20 years. Easy to install, simple to brush, pricey yes, and strong joints on any kind of roof or cathedral ceilings.

It's not like I can't brush the chimney out on a set schedule. I am going to go several feet taller this time. If that doesn't work I will come up with some kind of forced air draft fan. I am sure I can come up with something cheap. 
Running it out the side wall of a shop will probably always mean smoke in the shop. It ain't like the stove is running 24/7 to keep the flue warm; it will start out cold every time you use it... and it won't matter what pipe you use.
Been there... done that... multiple times... multiple stoves... all sorts of pipe.
The best thing I did was run my last shop stove straight up and through the roof. I didn't use insulated pipe, however it is double wall... never a hint of a draft problem (in fact, I've got a key damper in it closed half way I never touch). The total length from the stove connection to the top is 12 feet... that puts it a bit over 4 feet above where it passes through the roof, and maybe a foot higher than the peak.
