to compare like with like.... look for the 'thermal conductivity' value on the rolls...
mineral wool is in the region of 0.04...
there are better products on the market...

well, the lower the thermal conductivity the better.... 
theres a product from moy insulation called metac. It claims a TC value of 0.034 which is very good for a quilted material. [broken link removed]
Rockwool have a product called rockwool flexi which has a TC value of 0.037.. .this has the added advantage of being semi rigid and can be cut to fit between roof timbers. [broken link removed]
the typical roofing insulation is products such as moy isover plus. this has a TC value of 0.044. [broken link removed]
when comparing TC values you can see that the metac product would perform approx 30% better than the isover product.
