Installing panel board - which ceiling should I choose next?

[Distordera]

I have a 1930s house and am planning to install panel boards on the kitchen walls. The planned construction is rough board (original), then drywall on that, and then panel board.

The model I have in mind is double groove as I'm not too fond of the classic beadboard.
The boards should go from floor to ceiling.

Questions:

1. Is it correct that I nail the baseboards and casings on top of the board? I've heard of people placing the board on the baseboards, but that shouldn't be optimal, right?

2. For the ceiling, I was also thinking of using some type of board, but I am unsure what would look best in an old house with that paneling. What do you think?

I have used paneling at the cottage, I've nailed the baseboards on top.
The advantage of placing it on is that you avoid the gaps that panel routing creates against the baseboard - it is important that the baseboard is completely straight...

Isn't classic tongue and groove paneling the easiest? Sheets are a bit harder to put up on the ceiling (must be thicker or written/nailed/glued with relatively tight battens).

Thanks for the response! Ceiling paneling doesn't seem too tricky. That panel is narrower and then I planned to get a staple or brad nailer. The ceiling panels I've seen are around 11 mm, so they're not far from classic paneling.

The only question is which appearance works. I'm completely at a loss there.
