Drywall nor lathe and plaster have no "advantage" over paneling. Paneling is

Paneling never needs to be thrown out. You can remove it and put it back as
many times as you want to do wiring 1-year, piping the next year and
insulation in a decade. No waste ever, can't easily pop a hole through it, it
doesn't ding and dent, no crumbing from hanging a picture, can be painted or
stained and highly resistant to water...compared to any gypsum stuff.
