The mudder simply blended it with the rest of the drywall and I painted over it. You can hardly tell the difference.

yup I know about the different ones but anyone had a fairly rough surface so you would have to cover it with mud and sand it smooth. this is fine for small areas but a whole wall would be nuts. Green board is good for moist locations but it still won't handle direct water of 100% humidity.

I am thinking the MDF is looking the best as it is a lot harder than drywall so it will take more abuse.
