insulation options

I have done a ton of research and learned alot from this forum.

I have one question though. Would xps still be the best option on poured foundation walls that are above grade? I think moisture wouldnt be an issue in an exposed foundation wall. I suppose the moisture could wick through the wall? It would just be easier and cheaper to stud the walls away and FG it. The area will be conditioned after its finished.

Its a new house thats 3 years old. Uninsulated, unfinished basement. Havent had any moisture problems. Grade is sloped very well to divert all water way. Back half is exposed to walk out basement sliding door.

Thanks
