In what application? Thickness?, insulating value?, dimensions?, permeability?, strength?
On a volume basis EPS foam is probably the lightest and cheapest in sheets or blocks. XPS is a very common readily available and is far superior for most applications.
Foamed concrete can have variable properties.
