Been blowing insulation in attics for 35 years. Started out using the cellulose and got talked into using the fiberglass. Used it for a few years until I noticed one cold windy day that there was a pretty good draft coming in around the can lights. I ended up having to go back in the attic and cover them with blanket insulation. Also one time I was watching the guys blow the fiberglass in when somebody came in from the garage and slammed the door. The whole attic looked like it dropped a couple inches. Another thing if you get a little snow blowing in the vents which does happen around here, the fiberglass will let it go right through and onto the ceiling drywall. We lost a couple rows of tape one winter from that. So now we are back to using the cellulose. Here in SE SD. we are using R48 which is about 12 inches of cellulose. A lot depends on the installer as to what you actually get. A little more air and you get a lot of fluff which can add to the R value but lets more air in. One should actually have a bag count from the installer to see if your really getting the true R value you are paying for. The installer I now use for the cellulose injects a glue like substance with the insulation and that is supposed to keep it from settling. I saw in one house with fiberglas after a big wind storm one side of the ceiling had blown over to the otherside. Was enough air movement to pick it up. I would recommend the cellulose myself. I have it in my own home and would do it again.
