Simplest and easiest is to add dimple board after taking all other standard waterproofing measures - google dimple board or air gap membrane. SuperSeal, Delta, Polyguard are some names I remember... Price varies by total gallons per hour relief, compressive resistance, etc. Amvic and other ICF manufacturers usually have good tech bulletins on waterproof (not water-resistant) foundations. Backfill with pit run and cap the top with 12" or so of clay or other low-permeation local soil.
Proper use of dimple board means the only reason for using any kind of self-draining soil is to avoid direct pressure on the foundation from water expansion (of clay, for ex.) or frost expansion - that's a soil problem, not a water-in-the-foundation problem.
If you properly install dimple board then your next weak link will be the french drains - if I remember the data correctly, average dimple board will drain 15-20 gpm per foot of width? so you should be able to run 10 sprinklers next to the house and the membrane will drain it before head pressure ever builds to the point where water will penetrate the foundation. Anyway, if your french drains will not remove a sufficient gpm or if you do not properly protect them with geomembrane to keep them from clogging, you wasted all your waterproofing money and time...
