Omit the fiberglass under the floor. It will just be a nesting for mice and other rodents. Over your floor joists and under your 3/4" osb, use a bubble foil. A buddy of mine has done this in his camp and with his woodstove running the floor is not cold at all even at -10F.

I have also done a pole house using telephone poles, mine were closer to 12" in diameter and the main issue was getting them right on layout due to the rocky sandy ground I have at my build site. This is critical due to the fact that the walls sit right exactly inside of the poles and any variation will cause you problems with interior floor, drywall, etc....
I used R30 insulation in my subfloor and covered the bottom with plywood as you are going to do. If the method benny8 suggests will work, i would use it, not that I have had problems but just because it sounds easier and cleaner.
Show us some pics, and good luck!

I was thinking of chicken wire over plywood and rapping onto headers
