Hello. We are in the process of building a pantry. We're debating whether to use gypsum board or MDF/hardboard.
What would you do? Pros and cons of the materials?
The plan was to apply microlite and paint, so for the surface's sake, it's the same. We think gypsum is more fragile, but a friend who is a carpenter advocates for it.
The point is to be able to mount shelves and such in the pantry that definitely need to withstand having a lot of staples and other items on them. That's why, for instance, you use 15 mm plywood underneath. Then drywall on top because it quickly, easily, and cheaply provides a nice surface.

I completely agree with the reasoning, but we have chosen to use a bracket system for more flexible shelving arrangements, so we only depend on the rear wall. Which is solidly built.
I would still absolutely go with thicker plywood in the walls. I was thinking that someone might come after me who might want the shelves differently. Alternatively, you might want to change the shelf placement yourself...
If it's a cost issue, you could go with OSB behind the drywall. You can absolutely do as you wish, but I think that I and many others wish that drywall without sheet material that can handle fastening behind should be classified as a hidden defect upon sale (which of course it absolutely isn't).
Going to do this soon as well. But we are going to have a corner pantry that is "covered" on both sides, so we will go with lacquered MDF or something.

Anyway, where did you buy the door?
Bought five identical doors twelve years ago from a private person in Småland (drove a total of 30 miles with a trailer ). They've been sitting in the garage since and have been a bit of a joke, but now I've had my comeback along with the doors
Good luck with the project. Check for doors on Blocket, local flea markets, or from Building Preservation shops (for example, Nacka Byggnadsvård has many beautiful old doors).

If it's a cost issue, you can use OSB behind the drywall. You can absolutely do as you please but I think that I and many others would wish that drywall without paneling that can handle fastening behind should be classified as a hidden defect upon sale (which it of course absolutely isn’t).
It was to maximize internal space that we skipped a paneling material. If you want fixed shelves in the future, you just need to attach cleats to the frame and place the shelves on them. Plus add studs on the back wall. So no problem as I see it. I'm personally skeptical about just drywall but that's how it ended up. Really, it's just one side wall we're talking about since at the front there are only studs and frames. The back wall and one side wall are the house's outer walls. We'll see if it holds
