Steam Pipe Installation

I'm getting the asbestos insulation removed from my steam pipes in the basement. What type of insulation material do you recommend replacing it with? I've seen options for fiberglass, elastomers (Insul-lock) and other options.
Thanks!
Thanks!

The insulation most commonly recommended here is fiberglass 1" thick. I ordered mine from

The pvc covers for elbows and tees look good.
