Default Drop ceiling or drywall ceiling?

I know everyone wants a drywall ceiling, but I have a walkout basement that
if I were to put a drywall ceiling in I'd have to put in 12 access panels
for electrical boxes, water shutoffs, vent dampers, etc. in an area 18' X
27'. * Here are couple pictures of what I've got in the way of *"stuff" I
need access to and what it might look like with all the panels. *Would I
just be better off going with a drop ceiling?

Having installed a drop ceiling for an entire basement, I would say
that it would be my choice. I used fiberglass drop panels and the
whole thing turned out great. There is a good choice of colors and
finishes available. One can use either the plastic or metal hangers
and rails. I chose the plastic...not only cheaper but easier to work
with. Follow the instructions...VERY IMPORTANT.
