drywall probably gives better sound proofing but what other advantages
are there over paneling

drywall is heavy but easy to cut but it is fragile
once you get it on the wall you have to tape it

then the mud coats and the mess
then the multiple sandings and all the mess
then you have to primer and then a coat or two of paint

paneling you cut it nail it and finish it with a clear coat and you are
done


maybe drywall is cheaper but i am guessing that some engineered panel
products might get close in price


and really maybe metal lath and plaster is the cheapest fastest way to
go

now come to think of it how did drywall replace lath and plaster




Depending upon where you want to use it, think fire and flame spread
ratings.
