Hve you considered a footing/stemwall like a conventional house? Just do a dig out, ie a small excavator, rent for the weekend. I paid my neighbor who has an old small Case crawler to do my digout, then contracted out the foundation work, ie set up, forms, rebar, deal with inspector. I had to pay for the concrete. The concrete was $1000. His labor/materials travel was $2800 for a total of $3800.
You wont have mice intrusion this way. My stem walls are 24" tall, with an 8" footing and I have 10" above grade to my siding.
I have no exterior crawl space, did the trap door in the floor on the inside, so its great for secure storage also. It cost more this way, but its actually easier. I have lots of headroom in the crawlspace, very tall.
