Unfaced or Kraft-faced Insulation for Garage

My garage is unfinished and in process to install insulation, drywall and insulated garage doors. I have contacted two insulation companies for quotes- one has recommended unfaced batt insulation and the other kraft-faced. My house was built in 1986 so the exterior wall construction is masonite over Georgia Pacific C-208 fiberboard sheathing. I live in North Carolina – Zone 4A, mixed humid climate. The garage is attached and will not be heated or cooled. Would it matter which is used in this environment? Is there anything I need to consider in using one over the other?

Are you trying to isolate the house from the garage, or insulate the garage from the outside?
Trying insulate from the outside.
