I just had my attached garage insulated. This included all the walls, the attic, and the garage door. I did this to be able to efficiently air condition and heat the garage for use as a part time hobby and woodworking shop. I live near Houston, Texas so my primary concern was air conditioning.
I used a commercial insulation company. They installed a product called Ultratouch denim insulation in the door panels. It is held in place with metal bands that are attached to my garage door with sheet metal screws.
I am very pleased with the result. The garage is much more comfortable, even without running the heater/air conditioner. I plan to add weather stripping around the perimeter of the garage door to grab those last few percentage points for energy efficiency.

Has anyone done this and what is your favorite option for insulation, I have aluminum doors with deep panels so it seems And sockets all around each panel so it seems I can stuff rigid foamboard or mor pliable but thinner foil type.
