How do I finish a basement concrete wall before framing?

I want to frame in a basement, with three walls of exposed concrete. The home is in Salt Lake City. The concrete wall are four years old, and in all that time, not a drop of moisture has been noticed. Do i need a vapor barrier on the interior, then a gap, before framing? If so, can I use polyiso? Something like Tyvek? Just frame up against the concrete then do expanding foam insulation? Trying to DIY it as much as possible. Thanks!
