Look at it from a home owners perspective. It costs about 1/5, or less,
to install drywall versus a drop ceiling. You can patch/repair the
drywall many times over for less than the cost of a drop ceiling. Just
make sure you have things mapped out and do not cover over shut-offs
and such.

Convenience versus aesthetics and cost. I have gone both ways on this
issue. I am leaning toward drywall for the rest of my basement. I will
get more headroom, have a better look, lower cost, etc. I will run all
wires I think I will ever need, map out and diagram where everything
is, etc.
