Cellulose is also itch free!!!!!
The new blown in fiberglass is pretty much itch free also. I was practically rolling in it for 2 days straight while I did my and my FIL's attics.
Long sleeves/pants, gloves, a respirator (I used a 3M style 6000 series with P100 filters, the whole setup is only ~$20-$30), safety glasses, and a headlamp are pretty much required.
Having experienced them both I would DEFINITELY recommend L77 over the Home Depot L38. This is the distributor that I got it from:
http://www.idi-insulation.com/. They have locations all over the country. Just go in and say "with my 10% off Lowes/Home Depot coupon I can get insulation for XX.xx a bag, can you match/beat it?" I did the same and got a pretty big discount. I ended up paying $28.00 a bag for the L77 which if I remember correctly the L77 bags are actually bigger and have more in them also. Currently at Home Depot the lower quality stuff is $35.45.

L38 @ $35.45 * 20 bags = $709 (free machine rental with insulation purchase @ Home Depot/Lowes)
I got an official quote before I started that was ~$3,000. Through learning from the guy that was quoting it, YouTube, and help from the distributor, I did it myself to an even higher R value than I was quoted for ~$1000. I did way too much research on it and have confidence that it was done correctly and will last a long time.
This forum is about saving money and buying smart. Yes it is easier and faster to go to Home Depot, but it is smarter and cheaper to do it the way the pros do.
