I know of the theoretical benefits and drawbacks- has anyone recently built a house with spray foam and wished they didn't? How about the other way around- and what would you guys recommend today for a brand new house?

I think the increased cost of spraying our entire house was ~12k. The spray insulation coupled with good windows produced an efficient house IMO - heating bills over the winter were low and the place didn't heat up too much this summer (don't have the AC hooked up yet). Keep in mind fiberglass insulation loses it's effectiveness as it gets really cold out.
