thanks for the replies.
After more research and reading some articles on green building advisor their term of cut and cobble to fill stud bays with foam is not a good practice although its a good option for the rim joist area. My current plan is to switch out the foam for rock wool and cover with something like membrain and drywall. I've read its good to caulk all around where the studs meet the sheathing.
What I'm uncertain about is how critical it would be to seal and over lap the membrain? If I understand correctly sealing the membrain perfectly doesnt matter so much if you caulk the stud sheathing joints and make that air right.
I would like to insulate the rest of my foundation walls but dont want it finished. I might consider doing something like dow thermax glued on. I don't think this stuff has to be covered?
