For those of you building your own, what are you using for insulation? I would like to use rigid foam insulation (beadboard?) if possible, since it is easy to work with and does not settle. It can be cut with a table saw so it will fit tight between the frame, and comes in many different thicknesses. The main downside is that it doesn't have a very high R value, and I wonder if it will sqeek while going down the road.

I have also thought about the other foil faced foam (possibly made by Firestone?), which has a much higher R value, but is also much more expensive. Again, I wonder if it will squeek. Does anyone have any eperience with either of these?

I would sure hate to build the darn thing and then have it sqeek like crazy and have to tear it apart and change the insulation.
