Good luck! I think there are some example details in the building regs which might help you understand what they're doing and how many dB reduction you could expect if they do it well.
When I had a similar problem by far the biggest change was from my neighbours moving out. Landlord sold the flat and the new buyer rented it to the quietest tenants I've ever (not) heard :)

That's actually quite reasonable. The MuteClip option will give much better performance than a typical resilient bar system so worth the extra IMO. Make sure they use nice thick acoustic plasterboard and preferably two layers.
As @Cupcakes says it won't work as well as you'd want however well executed, so it's always wise to go for the upgraded options if you can. I'd expect a good outcome in your case being not able to fully hear conversations (muffled considerably) and less stupid when loud if far from ideal still.
Is the noise just coming from directly behind the wall? Not from above or to the sides?

Don't know if it's reasonable but my gut feel is its expensive, however if the work is done well then it may be worth it because I suspect getting the soundproof right is going to be dependent on both detailing and execution of the work. Also, it's probably going to not work as well as you want even if it's done very well. I've tried doing this and it helped to some degree but didn't solve the issue completely.
