1 hour fire-rated ceiling for basement is basically, 2 5/8's drywall doubled up. Also anything protruding or flow-throughs need to be caulked with fire rated caulking. Make sure that when you hang the first sheet of drywall that you take, mud and then put the other piece up. That is what makes it 1 hour.

5/8" sheetrock taped and floated usually satisfies the code. I reccomend you check your local codes to be sure.

You'd like to add insulation to my basement ceiling and attic Is miracle wrap insulation all it's cracked up to be?

Depending on the attic installation, you need a perforated product over the floor so condensation is not a problem. I recommend a Fire Rated Class 1 Class A Metalized Aluminum Perforated Radiant Barrier foil. On the attic "ceiling" or roof rafters, you can apply either a bubble/foil or just radiant barrier foil product. Right now there is no government rebate on just foil products so bubble is a good choice if that is important to you. Otherwise, just buy the foil! In your basement ceiling, you can use either product again, however, you will get more R-Value with a bubble product on the ceiling. -EcoFoil
