Default Building an internal wall - brick or stud?

I need to build an internal wall (non load bearing) in a basement room to
create a bathroom area. This will be between two parallel walls and will

be
approx 2-3m in length by 3m height. In the middle I will need to position

a
doorway into the new bathroom area.

What I need to find out is the most cost/time effective way of building

the
wall.
An influencing factor is that I already have enough bricks in the basement
to build the wall. Only problem is my brick laying skills aren`t exactly

top
dollar. I could do it but it would take me ages and the wall would

probably
end up being wonky.
I would need a fair amount of mortar if I went this route but presumably

it
would be far cheeper that building a stud frame & then
insulate/plasterboard/plaster?
The positive side with a stud frame/plasterboard is that it could probably
be built quick..


Stud, with insulation/soundproofing and Fermacell pre-finished drylining.
No wet skills at all.
