I'm confused.... Behind the gutter is the fascia, fastened on a vertical plane to the rafter tails, and usually to the outside edge of the horizontal soffit. No need for paper or ice and water there. Capillary action will take water from roof, to dripedge, into gutter. Caulk where gutter meets fascia.
Are you going with new aluminum gutter? Have gutter company drop ship it. They will cut to length onsite, give you end caps, drops, and hangers. Even hang it for reasonable money. Do not buy sections from a box store...... Go with the PVC trimboard for the fascia. Just be careful below 40 degrees. Nail gun will check out pieces. Better to use SS screws.
