Drywall (also called gypsum board or sheetrock) is the modern standard — panels of gypsum core between paper, screwed to studs and finished with joint compound. Plaster is older and involves multiple coats of wet plaster applied to a substrate. Drywall is faster and less expensive to install; plaster is harder and provides better sound insulation but requires specialist skills to repair.
