I wasn't disputing your comment. I worked on the new construction home where the homeowner was the GC. Spray foam on every outside wall and ceiling, then insulation. There was a problem with the house holding water during the plaster curing time and dehumidifiers were brought in to solve this but to the best of my knowledge no other problems were encountered to date.
This house has multiple valleys all around it and holds snow all winter.
It is just shy of needing a air exchanger but no ice dams or water.
I would think that having the most insulation possible on the roof is the best option. But I'm a painter not a builder.
