The air barrier is cheap to install and expensive to fix. Once the siding is on, a missed lap or an open penetration is buried. We roll every lap, detail every penetration and photograph the wall before anything covers it.
Rigid board goes on tight and fastened to the schedule in your spec, with furring over it when the cladding needs a drainage cavity.
