Default Options to finish wall and ceiling in garage

The garage is not attached.

I ripped the side wall apart this weekend.
From the inside out, studs, 12" wide tongue and groove at 45 degree
angle, tar paper then red brick.
All of the wood looks good, the paneling and insulation was from the
60's - it is all going in the trash.

I am now planing on drywall everywhere.
Any benefit to using the moisture type drywall in bathrooms? Or just
go with standard 5/8" and a good coat of paint.
I will be adding a furnace and correcting ventilation issues.
I have a new ridge vent in the roof, but little soffit vents, that
look to be clogged with insulation.
This will hopefully fix my moisture issues.


Unless there is a frequently used shower you don't "need " MR sheetrock in a
bathroom...Code may say otherwise however...The only place you need 5/8 Type
X sheetrock is the ceiling of the garage and the wall between the house and
garage...The rest can be half inch...Cheaper and MUCH easier to handle and
install...LOL...Good luck...
