I went with 5/8 because it is thicker and the fire rating is double 1/2-inch standard drywall. My 95-yr old house is all plaster and pretty much soundproof. I wanted thicker drywall because it feels thicker/more solid (like plaster). I went with the green, moisture resistant because this is the kitchen. The cost is a little more but in total, $250 for the room. 1/2 inch would have been about $175. And for extra sound proofing, I insulated the walls before installing.
I will be hand troweling the texture to match the plaster look like the rest of my house.
