Wall Board Question, for wet areas 
Can anyone tell me what they prefer in a wet area for wall board, green board,dura-roc or hardy board, I’ve always used dura-roc, the big box guys were telling me the hardy board is better , I'm going to use it in a bathroom.

Thanks in advance.

What's going over the board? Paint, tile

Tile is going over it.

Used to use the 1/2 cement board, what a ball buster that stuff is in all regards. I use 1/2 Hardi. Drywall is out of the question. They say you can use a utility knife to cut Hardi with, I just use my Dewalt cordless grinder with a diamond blade to do cut outs or use it to score and break off. Wouldn't say Hardi is better; I guess it depends on the criteria you are using to measure the better with. Hardi is about million times easier to use than cement board.
