We put 1/2" plywood and 1/2" styrofoam on the corners. Rest of the house gets 1" styrofoam board. Taped joints. Course that's if your veneer is brick.

If it's stucco we sheath the entire house with 5/8" plywood and tyvec house wrap.

Reviving an old thread but that must be pretty costly to do. Seems about 70% of builders in the Monroe area do OSB in corners and 1/2 inch styrofoam everywhere else. They say it provides better insulation and is actually more expensive than all OSB.
