Just got done doing all of this and went with the following.:

Drylok walls, Fasten 2" XPS Foam Board to walls with Tapcoms with fender washers via Rotary Hammer, Tape all seams with Frost King Tape, Spray Foamed gaps, and built wall away from concrete block foundation to avoid plumbing via pressure treated footer. I fastened that with a ramset but had some issues with brittle concrete in some spots.

I'd stay away from a "vapor barrier" and pink fiberglass insulation and let your walls breathe with climate changes. Stick with XPS Foam Board to avoid any potential of mold. I also built a wet bar, full bath, and jackhammered the floor out for a sewage ejector pump system. I have a ton of pics and info on all this. Feel free to Pm. Added some pics of the bathroom and bar just to give you ideas.

Wow, beautiful!! I would love a wet bar, but am a bit limited with room. Looks amazing though, great work. If you don't mind me asking, how much do you figure you spent, and how much sq. ft. about?
