What to put on walls?

[Porkanbeans]

I'm in the process of insulating my unfinished garage in our basement. It's pretty much as simple as it gets, 1 outside cinder block wall on the, the rest is studded. There are exposed floor joists in the ceiling. I have the studded walls insulated. Everything else is exposed. My question is, what do I use on the walls? I was thinking pegboard on the studded walls for easy access to electric components and storage possibilities and a water sealer on the cinder block wall. We're not looking to make this garage the ultimate, just something we did while making the most of what skills we had. A U-CoatIt floor is in the plans, as are some more light fixtures.

Here is an old picture of the garage. Everything but the stuff against the back wall is gone.

Thanks in advance.

I USED A TOUNG AND GROOVE PLYWOOD AND STAINED IT LOOKS REALLY SHARP

Due to the fact the garage is attached to your house (under it, next to it, common wall/cieling) code may call for 5/8" fire rated drywall. Just want you to be aware of this. If you do differently and go to sell your house in the future it could come back to haunt you. You can always put the covering of your choice (pegboard, ect.) over the plywood.

I'm in the process of building. When it comes time to do the walls I am going to do a 4 foot high section of texture 1-11. It's easier to hang stuff off of and you can't hurt it with car doors, mowers jack handles etc. I will screw these on the studs so I can get behind them if I need additional wiring.

I'm going to put a small shelf around the top of that. The top section will be sheet rock as will the ceiling.

I vote for using multiple materials. Use something very durable and waterproof down low T-111 siding?), peg board from about 32" up to maybe 60", then drywall up from there.

I don't really care for peg board but it is versatile and useful.
