Default Firewall treatment

I appreciate that this thread may have been done before, but I have my C3 stripped out ready for a body lift and I want to insulate/sound deaden the interior firewall, floor and cargo area. I am considering lizardskin, Dynamat (or similar), factory style insulation or a combination. There wasn't much left of the factory insulation when I stripped it down and I know sound deadening is not insulation as such so what do people recommend as an effective treatment? I am not too concerned with originality and just want a good result. Your comments would be appreciated.
Regards, Colin

I put down Hushmat on my firewall, tranny tunnel, floorpans and waterfall. On top of that I put Reflectix.

Both gave me a big improvement in keeping the heat and noise out of the cabin.
