Default insulation

My builder wants to insulate my house with fire-retardant cellulose. My
architect wants to use fiberglass. I have also read a little about
fire-retardant denim. Any thoughts?

Stay away from new-age ideas here. Insulation is a system
that has to perform over many years. You cannot take risks
with something that is a fad or experimental. The cost to
fix it is too high. I'd go with fiberglass. Cellulose has
been known to settle, leaving gaps. Fiberglass stays in
place, and has a long track record of working.
