OK, which is better (and in what ways)?

Facts: I have a daylight basement - walk-in with about a 7-8 ft. ceiling ht. I use it as a bedroom and main bath, someday it can become a sep. dwelling unit if I ever need or want.

Right now it has an old, nasty acoustical tile ceiling and some really cheap painted paneling. My plan is to put up either drywall with a lightly textured mud on the board, or whatever board the plasterers use and then plaster, also lightly textured.

The part to be done is around the corner from the bathroom BTW.

The plastering co. that will bid on it said plaster is much harder, more durable... and dries faster.

I don't care if it take 1 day or 5 days to dry so I can paint.

What else do I need to know???

Thx!
