Ceiling Help

Name: New to the DIY World  City: Denver

Question: I'm trying to put in a new ceiling in my basement but I'm having a hard time figuring out what the easiest way to do it is. Should I use those boards that you just slide in or should I go all out with dry wall? Which is better in the long run?

Answer: I think the boards are easiest. You just slide them in. If they get damaged (like you have a leak or something) then you just need to replace the boards that have been damaged. It's the lazyman's answer to home repair.
