Both will clean roofs. Air has a higher price but lower cost. 

I am obviously biased, but facts are facts. Air system is more reliable, more flexible and can still fit within your budget range.

1/2" poly pump, smaller HF Gas Comp (or used), 200' of 5/8 hose, water sep and a tank and you are off to make money. PM if you have any Q's on Air Systems and read all the sticky posts on building systems in the Members forum and the tank and system design sticky in the General forum. 

Don't forget the other gear in your calculation...ladder(s), standoff, safety gear, etc.

Ditto, I'd go air if you're looking to do a lot of roofs, but for me that is my preference

Yes, that air compressor is fine for a 3/8  air pump, and marginal for a 1/2 inch pump.
