Might' be a good place to apply a few costs of water based poly.

You can find slatwall panels (4 x 8 x 3/4") for about $60.00 each.  You should try to locate a local distributor to avoid high shipping costs.

Slat wall will allow you to use standard hooks and trays and it is strong enough to screw into.

It looks pretty good and it is available in many finishes:

At ~$60 a pop for a 4x8 panel I hope your budget is pretty strong. I chose drywall, installed and finished it myself. Bright with a finished look and will have a combo of shelves, cabinets and hanging devices to store items. Not for everyone, but I like the look - YMMV.

Any suggestions on products that I should look for? I probably need 10 foot lengths so that I can run the sheets vertically and avoid horizontal seams.

Thanks in advance.

I found a bunch of free deck boards on craigslist... pulled the nails, planed them down and milled new tongue and groove edges and installed them on a couple of my shops walls as paneling.

I used drywall, mainly to hold in the insulation.  But I saved $1,100 by not having it finished.  In other words, no sanding of seams and screw holes.  Yes, they filled the seams and screw holes, but they didn't sand them down to a smooth finish.  I don't care what it looks like.
