When hanging drywall... horizontal or vertical on walls?
Hey guys - this might be preference, but when hanging drywall, say a wall that's 16' long 10' high, do you guys go with 48" x 10' panels and go vertical? Or, do you go 48" x 8' (or 10') and go horizontal? I have a bunch of outlets to account for, so either way I need a lot of detail cuts, but I am just curious what the rationale is and if there's a method.

horizontal, one seam to tape in middle,hang top first,measure down from that sheet to mark boxes,butt joints in center of windows(if you have to, and no joints on door frames(hang sheet over door,then cut it out.).
