AG
Roof: composition shingles on solid decking 4:12-12:12 pitch
Attic: soffits vented to ridge vent
HVAC: gas heat in attic
Garage: 36" 1/2hp whole house fan in ceiling, auto dampers

Foam Insulation:

.... Pros & Cons?
1) Only on attic floor
2) On rafters, sealing off vents & fan + venting HVAC
IMHO and am sticking to it

Check your shingle manufacturer's stance on how they handle warranty claims when spray foam insulation is involved. Worked for one of the main manufacturers as a sales rep for a few years. They were fairly anti-spray foam and would point to that as the cause of shingle issues due to the attic not being able to breathe.
