I think the only way to make that garage work would be to modify the plans to a ~12' wall in order to match the pitch on the house.
Otherwise, I think the gabled roof will work equally well because it doesn't look like you shoehorned an addition to "match" when it really doesn't. Plus, you'll be more comfortable on the 2nd level of a gabled roof than a hip roof.
I should really be charging a consulting fee. Heh.

Yeah, I think the worse thing I could do is build something thats too big.
