Question: Should I install batt insulation with the vapor retarder on the flooring side?
Answer: If the garage is heated you do not need a vapor barrier. If the garage is not heated you can install a vapor barrier on underside of subfloor sheathing or paint it with an oil-based paint, then install batt insulation between joists so vapor barrier (poly or paint) is on the warm-in-winter side. Because your note did not include your postal code I don't know where you live, but be advised that Owens Corning does not sell insulation with a Kraft-paper facing in Canada.
