Isulating With Foam For Roofs?

I've always used fiberglass for insulating roofs but I'd like to try EPS foam. I have a RT59 Grove crane so I'll be able to lift any size panels. What are the better companies and products? I've heard there is some real bad kinds of foam. Thanks

Insulating attics or insulating roofs? Typically the only ROOFS that get insulated are vaulted ceilings, where the roof deck is exposed and usually a T&G type board, or the obvious flat roof. Insulating a roof is most effectively done with PolyIsoncyanurite, or ISO for short.
