One other thing worth considering is the embodied carbon in each type of insulation. Cellulose is sequestering carbon. Fiberglass manufacturing has a higher embodied carbon footprint and Mineral Wool is higher than fiberglass. Spray foams vary a lot depending on the formula but all have higher embodied carbon than the other options. Therefore use cellulose as much as possible and the other things only where they are a very optimal solution.
