I believe Insulated ceiling will have less cracks then non insulated due to the Rapid temperature change.
Also not having a stud behind a joint is a NO NO!!!
My opinion comes from 40 years of building HOMES!

Average Humidity Levels for Florida - Current Results
I would say that our average humidity in Florida is pretty close to a shower which is 100%. I am thinking blue board might be the answer too, although the expanding and contracting due to temperature changes coupled with the high humidity are a real problem. Interested in this discussion. We are leaning right now to have a sort of plastic bead board installed. Anyone else think that is a good idea?
