Folks,
I am planning a house. I live in central Virginia where it gets cold and hot enough to spend some money on heating/ cooling. I am not sure whether it would be cheaper to use 2×6 s to frame the walls and fill with fiberglass or to go 2×4 and use styrofoam. I guess blown insulation is an option too. I don’t really know the relative r values. Any help would be appreciated.

I believe, based on numerous comments posted at this site and articles in FH, you need to at least consider dense pack cellulose. Especially if you are building a new house. If you do a search there will be kazillions of posts that will turn up on this subject matter.
