Default Radiant barrier questions

I have a couple questions for the experts on radiant barriers.

1. Are they worth the expense in reducing utility bills in a hot
climate?


yes

2. Is there a preference between the paint and a physical barrier
stapled to the rafters.

It seems that using a physical barrier on the rafters would block
air flow.


probably, but you don't cover 100%, especially at the top and bottom, so
air will still circulate

Suggestions please. Thanks in advance.
