Chipboard in my garage, sure sucked up a lot of paint, cheap but I wouldn't do it again.
My shop is done in steel above ground pool siding, local factory rejects and end rolls that I got for the price of scrap. Gray finish, wish it was white but not going to complain for the price and not bad enough to paint.
The best solution IMO sheet metal roofing, pre-finished in white. More money but easy to install, already finished, fire proof (good for welding), power washable, mold proof, easily removed if needed. Instantly finished walls, two car garage it would be a one day project.
Here the cheapest is about $1 sq/ft
If you want it's easy to insulate and vapour barrier, walls/ceiling will be same R-value as sheetrock.
My heated shop R-20 walls and R-60 ceiling, cheap to heat at 49*F and costs less to heat than my house at 68*.

My pool siding is easy to hang things, you just screw 5/8 plywood to the wall and hang cupboards on the ply.
Roofing I'd likely plan and put the ply up before the metal, then cut in around the ply.
