im no expert ... but i went to screwfix and bought the silver foil bubble wrap as it was the cheapest by far.... i used high temp spreay glue and it sticks to the contours perfectly.

I also bought insultation from bnq made from recycled plastic to suff into any areas.

I believe it's common practice to stuff any rockwool, spun plastic or sheeps wool based product into plastic to prevent it holding moisture and rotting from the inside out.
I've got Kingspan type stuff in relatively flat areas and a sheep/plastic bottle mix in the rear corners wrapped in rubble sacks, all seemed dry when I last had the interior side cards off.
