Looking to insulate unfinished garage ceiling which is 24" center 2x4 truss. 27 x 24 two car garage

Looking between all three big box (what is in stock at each) stores I have a few options

1) Buy R13 Faced Roll fiberglass (23" x 32')

---This would provide no seems although not quiet sure stapling this would be the easiest approach , maybe i can screw some braces to help hold the roll up..like midway and at each end then staple as i go

2) Buy R13 Faced Batt Fiberglass (23" x 93")

---This would be easier to install as it is shorter section, but each cavity would have approx 4 seems

After this is complete

3) Buy R30 UNFACED Roll Insulation and run perpendicular over top the R13

---This is cheaper than running R30 UNFACED Batts, but would / may require some more cutting to get the fit right

4) Buy R30 UNFACED Batts and run perpendicular over top the R13

---Most costly option of the R30 on top, also would introduce more seems

Thanks for the help! Looking to stay warm this winter!!

have you considered putting up some sort of ceiling? blown in insulation is often cheaper than using batts
Just another option

I did the blow in cellulose inside the home (attic)..may or may not do the finished ceiling until some time so that eliminates the blow in
