I don't know what your budget is but the products at www.savenrg.com seem like cutting egde stuff. The sheets were selling for $0.79 per square foot last time I checked, but they also have radiant barrier chips that are blown in like other loose fill insulation. The advantage to this, in horizontal applications, is that the accuulation of dust, over time, will not degrade the performance of the chips. The top layer will still get dust on them and stop performing as they orignally had, but the layers underneath the top layer will be protected from dust accumulation. In using flat sheets in horizontal application (ceilings, under roof joists) the dust accumulation prevents the radiant energy from being reflected.
They also have some sheet-type material that has multiple layers to stop the performance degradation caused by dust.
