Best insulation for crawl space in attic?

I have a 44 year old frame built home; stucco and a asphalt shingle roof with a large attic crawl space
the heat in the summer sizzles at above 110 most days and in the winter it drops below 40 degrees often at night

ive used both, i favour rolled . for two good reasons,
when you get a problem with , wireing , you can access it very easy, with blow it all over the place, a real mess, it compacts too much for my likeing , the idea behind insultion, is let air , circlate, with blowen , i cant see this happening …
i use R19 , if you go to lowes web site they can tell you how many bags you need,
one more thing , wood needs to breath, air drys out wood, maken it britter, i would suggest you install a auto fan to help keep the roof space coooler in the summer , less heat up there = less heat comeing down to the ceiling less a/c use cash smart lol
