Romex or BX
Im running a new circuit to the service panel through a finished drywall ceiling within the joist cavity. Wire will be resting on the drywall. Should I use romex or BX? Wood framing.

Regards,
Rusty

Honestly, I don't know, I'm a carpenter, not an electrician. If you don't know either, I would think your best bet would be to have an electrician do the work.

Rusty, Ask the electrical inspector what his preference is. Usually you can contact him through the building department. (Look at your permit-there should be a phone number on it)
