Re: So I want to get my attic insulated...

They work differently.
The radiant barrier keeps the attic cooler (relatively speaking) by preventing the heat of the sun from penetrating the roof.
The insulation keeps the house cooler by preventing the heat from the attic from penetrating into the living space.
We haven't had enough hot weather so far to make any judgment, but if each one helps a little, we should see lower electric bills this summer.
