I wish I had experience with Thermax. I too have read it is awesome stuff. I sourced it in my area (Seattle). It was significantly more expensive per sheet than RMax, it was special order, and there was a minimum amount you had to order (I forget how much, but it was in the range of 2.5-3.5 H12s) so I'd have to get a posse together to make it worthwhile. Was too much so I passed.
I opted for 1" RMax. It was fine as far as construction materials go. I suspect with good care and feeding it can last several years at the burn (though last year was pretty mild once it started). Be careful with what and how you tape to it, the silver facing can come off pretty easy. For the use of it... awesome, my family and I totally loved it! And they're so BIG, we were able to house another family of 3 and still have ample space for stuff. Good luck! Dano!
