Short answer

For hot climates, PU/PIR panels at 50–75 mm give the lowest cooling load, followed by EPS at 75–100 mm; rock wool is fire-safe but thermally weaker per mm, so use 100 mm plus a radiant barrier and roof ventilation. All three are suitable if thickness and detailing match the local design temperature.
