You can also do thinkgs like fish wires through walls in an open cell. My preference would be open cell. @Phillip: Open cell allows some air and you would be less likely to have any mold issues.

R values are measure with radiant heat. You can have insulation with air leakage with a high r-value. You can have a spray foam with a low R Value that actually would be better than batted insulation with a higher R value. I expect soon that all we will see is spray foam. @Derek: It depends on how thick they spray it. R values are measure with radiant heat. You can have insulation with air leakage with a high r-value.
