paneling--it's either a quick sand and paint

Depending on the panning and it's condition you may not need to sand (a
good cleaning may be sufficient) or sanding may not work at all (paper
finished paneling)

or drywall? Opinions?

Drywall would normally be my suggestion, but it is really a personal
choice. I have seen some situations where painted paneling looked great and
many where it looked like painted paneling.

The house will be sold within the next year or two.
