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

Use yellow fiberglass behind the sheetrock. It's less expensive, and just as good, or better.

Sorry to take so long to respond to the posts. The ceiling is only 8' high and I'm concerned that the drywall will reflect too much sound. I thought the acoustical panels my absorb a bit more. Since this is the first listening room I've planned I need all the help and expertise I can get.

Thanks in advance for suggestions.
