Don't compress fiberglass insulation...that will make it lose it's insulating capabilities (in other words makes it useless).
What I did in my old house is install rigid foam insulation ONLY under the plywood areas, and regular fiberglass insulation everywhere else. The area wasn't big enough (maybe 10x12) to make it worth it to install sleepers to raise the floor height.
Make sure you leave enough clearance at the eaves so the attic can breath. If you don't already have a ridge vent make sure you install one.
