Boiler Jacket Insulation

My large, hot-water boiler jacket insulation has disintegrated. What's a good choice to replace it? It was previously 1" fibreglass, by the looks of things, but it may be worth it to replace it with something like this: http://www.buyinsulationproductstore.com/roxul-enerwrap-80/ to decrease standby losses.

Yes, mineral wool is good quality insulation. You could use that or 2" fiberglass duct wrap if it will fix under the boiler jacket.
I would remove the jacket panels and old insulation. Clean loose debris from the jacket panels. Put some spray glue on the panels and stick the insulation on.0 -
