If the wall between the house and the garage is NOT insulated, there may be some benefit realized by insulating the garage ceiling.

Bottom line.....If you don't insulate the garage ceiling, (most contractors do not) it seems to me that insulating the wall between the garage and the house would be beneficial. Perhaps, more beneficial then insulating the the garage ceiling.
The wall between the house and the garage should definitely be insulated. This is a standard construction feature that the builder would apply to all houses. Typically, the builder does not insulate the ceiling above the garage, and it makes no logical sense to do that.
