Should I use greenboard on ceiling in bathroom?

It is not very damp in the bathroom but is it standard to use this on
all non-tiled surfaces in a bathroom?

There's no reason to use it. Also note that greenboard can't handle 16"
o.c. ceiling joist spacing - it isn't stiff enough.

I have been pretty unhappy with green board over the years. It seems
to fail in damp areas just as easily as regular drywall. I am using
DensArmor on a project right now, and it seems like a good solution,
at least in theory. The cost is slightly higher that green board.
