House or shop? I remodel/finish a lot of basements. I usually just frame up a stud wall next to the block, run all my electrical, insulate with fibreglass and then sheetrock it. Sometimes in basement bathrooms where inches count I use the pink or blue styrofoam - 1" or 1 1/2". I use a technique where I glue the styro onto the block then nail through the sheetrock and styro directly into the block. It is cheaper though - labor wise to just frame. In a shop I guess I would do the same thing but use corrogated metal or OSB to cover. A trick i've been using for years to attach to concrete is this: Buy some masonry bits for those blue screws (I hate blue screws but like the bits). Hammer drill through the material and into the concrete. Then cut a piece of 14 ga copper wire the same length as your nail and stick it onto the hole. Now use whatever nail you need and nail it along side the wire into the concrete. Cheaper, better, faster than blue screws.
