So many baths I see over the years have been done in typical 1/2".
I've done greenboard immediately surrounding the tub/shower area, and, with another bath ahead now to drywall -- does it really pay to do the full bath in moisture-resistant board? (for paint grade finish, no tile on walls)
I've always used the green - is the purple much different or easier to work?
Might as well review my taping too: I normally use paper tape (or Fibafuse tape, not mesh) with lightweight multipurpose to bed it. I've heard of the term "moisture resistant mudd" being tossed around, but my take on this is that drywallers are simply using setting-type compound OR straight mudd with topping with this description. I've never set eyes on "moisture resistant' compound ...
The room is in the basement with an electric air vent added...
