Converting an attic - what insulation to use?

Hello,

My next home project is to convert the attic. I was wondering about insulation. Should I use loose stranded fibreglass insulation like Rockwoll, or a solid insulation? I was planning to clad the ceiling with wood panelling, and I thought that glass fibres might escape through the cracks between the panels and contaminate the air.

Should I also use a plastic sheet between the insulation and the wood panelling? I suppose that this should also seal the glass fibres in place?

Many thanks, Paul
