This German steamer lagged with copper (probably one can't call this lagging anymore).
I like this a lot because it has a kind of a tough look. Goes together well with steam, me thinks.

I would use the insulating material under the lagging, and double insulate the smoke box.

that's a good idea - insulate the smoke box on the inside.
