I nailed 2x2s to the bottom of my trusses to allow for R22 insulation. 2x4s might be better, just harder to nail. With 2x2s I just used the nail gun, and did the entire garage in a couple of hours.
I also had electric heat, which did end up being a little costly. If I was building a detached garage again I'd run gas for a gas heater.
