Big negative on the icynene on basement ceilings(aka your 1st floor).Access to plumbing,heating and electrical now becomes non-accessible,good 'ol fiberglass bats will do.Critters are easily dealt with by simply sealing up any access points and if they are already there then kill or trap them.

As far as moisture weeping from the basement walls hit them with a coat or two of Dry-lok,cheap enough to do albeit a little messy.Active leaks are a different story.
