Sorry, but that bubble wrap stuff is a joke. Yes, it is marginally better than no insulation at all, but as someone else said, you won't find a published R value for it. The manufacturer will only claim an R-value of a barrier that has the bubble wrap in it. Meaning the bubble insulation relies on other components of the barrier and trapped air to achieve the claimed R-value.
Spray foam is good because it seals any air leaks in the wall. But it's not cheap and doesn't look too good. I went with fiberglass in my walls, covered with OSB. 3-1/2 inch fiberglass is R-13. I'm in the process of installing an OSB ceiling, then I'll blow in 6 to 8 inches of fiberglass in the attic, which will give me about R-20.
There's no reason you can't use fiberglass just because you have steel walls, but you do need to have a vapor barrier on the interior. You can't get condensation on the steel if there's no way for moisture to get to the wall.
