What do i need to use in a Bathroom for walls

I just bought a fixer upper and one one the bathrooms I had to tear down the drywall. I want to redo this myself and seems like a very do able task but just need to know what material to use.

Drywall or Greenboard.

The tub and shower is a one piece plastic enclosure. All i want to do is put the walls back up and paint it.

Any suggestions.

Welcome to the forums!

IMO greenboard isn't necessary, regular drywall once finished, primed and painted [w/enamel] has all the protection it needs. Most codes no longer call for greenboard in baths but it wouldn't hurt to check with your local permit/inspection office.
