A radiant barrier is better than nothing, and plenty of insulation is much better than any radiant barrier.

Why not both? Radiant barrier will be about $100, then I'm gonna add blow in insulation, not 32" but ~R40 which is adding 12" to the current insulation of about 6-8", should get me close to R60
