unfinished ceiling treatmen?

hello everyone, I've got a home studio that i'm still building in the basement.
specs:
- carpet on cement floor
- unfinished ceiling
- the walls- Cement-> fluffy fiberglass -> drywall
- the SOUTH Wall was built with plywood and drywall and insulation.
- 16 Feet wide, 11 feet long, 7 feet tall (if it is dry walled which i don't plan on doing). now it has U shaped holes and the holes are about 1 foot, so a total of 8 Feet. Right above is the floor above it.

I have a drawn picture attached to illustrate

anyways, i'm planning on putting a "cloud" to dampen the sound and affect the low frequencies. I have the Option of the Fluffy fiber glass, or Roxul Rockwool. Should I face that plastic towards the room or should i get a different material? I've hear that the reflective plastic will take away the purpose of the insulation, but Also heard that it can help to retain higher frequencies.

In addition I Do have 12 Bass traps (6 inches) to add to the room, and am going to make more acoustic panels (2 inch).
Any help would be appreciate it since I am an amature at this stuff still..
