Listening Room Ceiling

I'm seeing the builder next week about finishing my basement and need advice for my listening room beforehand. I'll go with drywall for the walls but was wondering about the ceiling. Should I use drywall or maybe acoustical panels? What are the advantages of each?

Thanks

Sheetrock with a knockdown texture will add a nice finished look to the room.

Down side of rock over acoustical panels? Dropped suspended ceiling with lift out acoustical tiles allows future electrical or communications installations of floor above as well as your audio room.

The ceiling is only 8' high and I'm concerned that the drywall will reflect too much sound.
