We settled on using Pyrogel insulating blankets from Aspen Aerogels to insulate our tanks: http://www.aerogel.com/products/pdf/Pyrogel_6250_DS.pdf#search=%22pyrogel%20insulation%22
After Phil figured out the right pattern to make the gores for the spherical tanks, it went very well. We used a spray adhesive to attach it, and we tested all the combinations of dusty side / non-dusty side and painted / non-painted for best adhesion. Surprisingly, putting the adhesive on the dusty side worked best. The material still does shed some dust in the wind, but it is reasonably rugged, more so than the fastblock insulation we were previously using, and it is only about $5 / square foot, which is a tenth the cost of the fastblock. It also sheds water fairly well.
