Is there someone out there that would like to make a comparison (cost, utility, performance et al) between the blanket and the stainless/fiberfrax installation?

I was stressing out over the best possible fire protection by looking at fire resistant: Paint, Firewall Penetrations, Sealants, etc.. My conclusion was to do the best job I could on fire prevention (fuel lines, anti-chafe, heat shielding, exhaust pipes, fire sleeves) and have a procedure for getting it on the ground as quickly as possible with fuel and ignition off.
Why? A local Aerobatic Performer flying a Harmon Rocket had a FWF fire in the pattern. He got it on the runway asap, but not before a hole was burned in the belly. He died of smoke inhalation. The odds are not good on a in-flight FWF fire, has anyone heard of a successful conclusion?
