Thanks everyone. I was sure VB woud be required but my lazyman's approach to not taking down the existing drywall and putting VB/DW over it sounds bad. Cost and time isn't that much more so really....suck it up and do it right sounds like the best way to go. I'll probably only have my side heated to +5 or so, unless I'm actually doing something in the garage.

Acoustical sealant question here - applying it to the top and bottom plate is definately what I'm going to do, but how many of you actually apply it to the studs when you're overlapping VB to make seams? This is in additional to Tuck taping the seam of course.
