In regards to 5/8 drywall sheets,each weights 100lbs and if you are planning to do your ceilings with double 5/8's have extra 3-4 helpers available .I did my entire 3 floor house with 5/8 drywall only the exterior walls as per building firecode,all ceilings are done in 1/2 .It wasn't easy to lift the sheets in place let me tell you.I did insulate between floor joists and interior wall studs using Roxul acoustical insulation.No sound comes through as far as I can tell and in general the rooms feel more cozy.Just a reminder in case you are not aware of it but there is got to be at least an inch of air space between the acoustical insulation and drywall for it to work properly.So don't pack it in there.Actually I like the Disco ball and strobes myself and I might just install some in my listening room for when playing dance music.
Best of luck with your project.
