hi
wallboard and plaster broad is the same thing.
if your in a loft you need the fire rated type

gypsum makes it
baseboard is the board the go after the wallboard at the bottom to cover crack between the wallboard and the floor

well plasterboard is made of plaster but looks like drywall..actually drywall and plasterboard is the same only has diff names and ingrediants..it is all good for remodeling walls...and baseboard goes along the bottom of your walls...and acts like a trim..so people cant see the end of the drywall ..plasterboard and the floor seams..its a trim..
or you can get some drywall base boards go on the bottom of the wall where it meets the floor plaster board is for patching a broken ceiling u can use drywall to its all basically the same thing but drywall is the cheapest for sure
