Greg, Aside from pine sap being a bit messy on cars and roofs (rooves?), pines have one very large tap root and the feeder roots more often than not don't cause much of a problem with foundations. Most of the time they will follow a roof line due to the higher volume of water.
Lived in Florida for fifteen years, several of which while renovating a ranch house with nearly a dozen 12" and better in diameter pines within 10 feet of the house. We excavated all of the roots heading under the foundation and found that they pretty much stopped traveling inward beyond the foundation line. Don't know where you live, but I'd pay dear for trees that offered any degree of shade over a roofline.
