Hi Drake,
I have no personal knowledge about using fibers as reinforcement but you say yourself you have good experiences with it.

This statement though is not valid.
Glass by itself is not a supergood insulator but when compared to some metals it is a lousy conductor. Copper conducts heat about 400 times as good as glass, aluminium 250 times, carbonsteel 50 times and stainless steel 25 times. Most types of concrete conduct heat about 2 - 3 times better than glass.
The glassfibers being thin and only a small percentage of the floor the thermal characteristics won't hurt the performance of the floor much, I would not recommend against using fiberglass because of it not being a great heatconductor.
