Default Taping the bathroom under remodeling

...
My contractor uses SHEETROCK® Drywall Joint Tape to tape outside the
shower stall and a "classic" fiberglass mesh joint tape FibaTape inside
the stall.

While the latter is mold-resistant, is it still good only for outside of
the shower stall, and a more advanced FibaTape Mold-X10 should be used
inside?

Or would it be years (if ever) until I see the difference?



*If the shower stall is lined with cement board then fiberglass tape and
thinset is correct. If it is drywall then nothing will help.

Why don't you just ask him why he is doing it that way?
