I am looking to insulate my basement walls. I am thinking about whether or not to do the interior or exterior and what the best techniques are. Please give me some guidance.
 
It depends on your situation. Age, location of house.. composition of basement walls, etc. This topic has been covered a lot. You might be able to search around and find some good info.

Also, I've seen this website mentioned a lot:
