Wondering what everyone would do on their own home to insulate the wall in the pic below. Just this wall needs insulation. I believe I only have two options on the concrete footer, spray foam or rigid foam, but as far as the rest of the wall?????

Where are you located?
What is the usage of the room?
What type of heat/cooling?
What is the insulation in the ceiling - type and R value?
Budget?
How long will you live in the house?
What type of windows (aka holes in the wall...), R value?

Lots of factors to consider to come to an answer...

Washington state, room to be used as a Rec room or additional bedroom, heating is forced air, I believe fiberglass r-13 in ceiling, budget? depends on value received, not sure how long I will live in house, windows are old, but are south facing with large trees in front! Hope that helps!

Is spraying the foam a DIY project? Anybody with experience with the DIY spray foam packs care to chime in?

Not sure where cathedral ceilings come into play...

I'm a little hesitant to put fiberglass directly against outside wall as there is no house wrap. I can actually see light from the outside in a couple spots. I've got the concrete covered up with 2" xps rigid foam but I am still stumped on the wall cavities. Would .5 to 1" rigid foam ( great stuff to fill voids) and then some fiberglass be ok? I know probably the r-value may not be to code but I am more concerned with mold issues.

Alright, just decided to put in faced fiberglass, thanks for the responses!
