Um denshield will kinda look like crap if you try to mudd and finish it with paint. Go for the purple board, if I read everything right this is just a tub? Or is it a claw foot with full oval enclosure for shower? If just tub, go with the purple board, USG I think, I dont like the fiber glass mat type of drywall, it finishes funny to me. Maybe you are talking about DensArmor?

National is not sold around here - at least not that I have seen, so thus DensArmour. We all do what we gotta do. If I can find some of the purple board I will have to look into - Thx

If memory serves me the purple board is allowed for ceilings 16"o/c where as you would normally need 5/8". Im a big fan of Denshield and I would use it in place of the durarock in the shower but due to cost I would stick with the XP in the tub area as long as you dont decide to tile later.
