I have a wall that was damp and caused contaminated plaster (i.e salts)

Traditionally, the reccomended solution is to replaster (using Thistle
Driwall). However I can considering replacing with plasterboard?

What type of plasterboard should I be using? I have googled and found
mention of "damp proof" plasterboard, but when looking at the travis
perkins
website, the range become confusing? Is Gyproc Moisture Resistant the
stuff?
or should I be using something else? (i.e plaster with driwall, or other
plasterboard?)

Moisture resistant plasterboard is moisture resistant, it will not stand
constant damp.

If you have constant damp, you need to fix it.

The wall WAS damp, this has been fixed (bridged DPC). Can regular
plasterboard be used?? I understood if the wall was plastered (i.e not
plasterboard) then regular plaster could not be used on previously
contaminated areas and that driwall or similar needed be to used.
