Only done this once, so no expert but I used this
http://www.wickes.co.uk/invt/161197 and clad the inside with 6mm ply.
Seemed to work a treat.

Weeellll....

I did this some time ago. It was a "how can I do it" thing and went
something like...

Stick fibreglass insulation (as used in loft spaces) into the
recesses. ie right against the shiplap timbers. Cut hardboard panels
to cover the f/glass and held them in place by nailing quadrant strips
around the edges. I did the roof as well and that was the trickiest -
need a helper to hold the panels up while fixing.

There's probably someone along in a mo telling how to do it better and
why not to do it this way (cynical or what), But anyway that's how I
did it - and oh, the "some time ago" was 16 years. It's still there
and needs very little in the way of heating in winter. Summer - I
have to leave the door open:-)

I just used large concrete slabs as the base and put the shed on them.
They were 10st each and I'm just about over it now! Make sure the
base parts of the shed and bottom couple of panels are well/pressure
treated timbers as rain splashes bounce quite high I found.

Hope that's a help anyway.

Best would be PIR foam panels like celotex, ecotherm, kingspan etc.
Cheaper would be 50mm jablite. Use a ply skin inside either of those.
