Opinions on insulating a crawl space.

Guys, I'm at a crossroads with regards to what to do with the crawl space. It currently has plastic over about 2/3 of the dirt and R13 insulation under the floor.

I bought another layer of R19 to add to what I have now but have since seen a neighbor have some kind of crawl space "encapsulation" system where they remove the insulation and seal everything with silver panels and tape.

I'm kind of a traditional guy and while intriguing, I'm a little leery of this kind of thing. Should I just insulate with what I have? Should I completely cover the dirt floor with plastic? Should I dump it all and try this new thing?

Thanks for the ideas!
