Haven't considered batts in exterior walls.
Sprayed in rock wool is 10x better. Also, it's fire and bug treated. 20+ years with it in my house never had a bug in it.
Have the same in my attic. I haven't ran the AC or heater from the first of Oct. Just might have to fire up the heater today just to get the smell out the house. Another thing, high ceilings. No less then 9'. This helps in cooling, but the down side. More work on the heater. Here in Louisiana, we cool 7+ months out the year, so that is the plus.

Do you have a building background? Between the build thread on the OB and some of the advice I've seen here from you, you know what your talking about.
To the OP, I highly suggest you go watch some of Matt Risinger's vids on youtube.
A lot of his stuff is more high-end than what most are looking for but the information, and his delivery of it, are superb for anyone that has house building questions.
He focuses ALOT on waterproofing and insulating. Hes also a huge proponent of building houses with climate controlled attics.
