I decided to put 5/8" on my little custom home in Buckeye a couple of weeks ago. The minimal additional cost made the decision a no brainer. I had concluded to use it for the same reasons you listed. Thanks for the confirmation!

Thank you for sharing your experience with us. Subscribed. I was told, by an experienced contractor, that it hides framing imperfections better as well.
