Depends a lot on how tight you want it to be, and if you want it good enough s it will be worth improving later. I'd rather have something I can improve and add to as time goes on, rather that something that will have to be torn down if I want something better later. I just built a 20' X 28' in the Adirondacks. I used treated 6" X 6" poles - dug the holes by hand. Doing such by hand does a nicer job - but of course is more work. Using poles and a high ceiling, you have the option later for a wood floor if desired. In regard to insulation - someone mentioned studs are easier to insulate - I assume with fiberglass? I'd never do it again for a remote cabin. The mice love the stuff and tear it out of walls, make nests, etc. I like pole-barn construction with exterior horizontal girts, then vertical siding or plywood. Inbetween - if you choose to insulate - I like using closed-cell foam sheets - 1" or 2" thick. Works great and the animals don't like it. I built another such cabin a few years ago except it was pole contruction for the first story. Second story was conventional 2"X 6" frame using the first floor as the foundation. Worked very nicely.
