Default Adding insulation to attic - fiberglass or cellulose?

Also helps work on a day when it's not raining. The folks at the store
really get miserable when you bring their machine back dripping wet. And the
cellulose sucks up water, and gets lumpy.

I'm a fan of cellulose. As long as you do the proper prep-work (put
vent baffles in for eave-vents, pre-mark your desired insulation depth
on the trusses/rafters, use plenty of plastic sheeting to isolate the
rest of the house from your work to keep the dust out, etc.), it's not
difficult for a DIY'er with a helper. The helper has to be JUST smart
enough to be trusted to keep their fingers out of the blower (a tiny
bit smarter would help, but isn't 100% necessary).
