Bill,

The batts should have a vapor barrier. This paper side should face
inward.

Actually that should be "should face towards the warm side." In the
south where cooling is the primary issue and heating is an after though, the
vapor barrier goes towards the outside.

This would normally place the vapor barrier towards the inside and you
could tape them together and to the steel.

You can add a plastic vapor barrier, but having one on the batts would
make it easier, I would think.

On wooden studs string running zig zag and a staplegun keep
the batts in place. Don't know about steel studs but anything cheap
to hold the batts in place until you put on the wallboard is ok.
