PVC ceilings also need professionals. With a cheap gypsum ceiling you can get away for a while but the cheapness of a pvc ceiling will be so obvious you will cry. Not all PVC is the same! Some have better chemical compositions than others which can affect your health in the long run. Cost is cheaper than gypsum, less pattern the better. Ideal if you are already living on a property, you need renovations and can't move. Prone to "heat" bends and bulges if it is too close to a metal roof and in a kitchen area. You will have a "gloss" or "shiny" finish. Waterproof, easy to clean, not prone to termite, lightweight, easy to replace. Insurance will buss your ass with premiums as it is a fire risk. Even if it is a slow burn, the toxic fumes can kill. There are also contractors internationally are learning about the dangers of PVC building materials which you can check up on.
Suspended ceiling are the cheapest, less pattern the better. Fire resistant, simple to install, if you want to run wiring, pipes or repairs, you can simply remove the tiles for access. Can tolerate some water leaks but if the water is dirty, the staining is permanent so you would have to paint over it (good luck in finding the shade of white to match a standard tile) or change the tile. Cleaning the cobweb of the tiles can be a scene as for some reason the crevices and corners encourage spiders. Installing too close to the roof (heat) can cause the tiles to bulge at the middle, the edges lifting a few mm of the channels resulting in creases after some years.
Can't speak about wood/ply but cheaper the wood, more prone to termites. High end such as Teak cost money. 90's and before you would see ceiling wood finishes. Today you will mostly see that as a decorative ceiling in commercial properties.
If you want the best finish, Gypsum. If you don't care about property insurance and gloss, PVC. Cost and ease of access above the ceiling (pipes, wires, etc) suspended ceiling.

I can vouch for the wood ceiling...my folks had this for 20+ plus before renovation was done....once treated properly, you have no problem...when was time for renovation, we opted to leave the wood ceiling (just changed the groove ply) and it like brand new...good treated lumber expensive AF though and well insurance is not a problem.

Suspended goes from $8 to $12 per sq ft. Gypsum around $12-$18 per sq ft depends on the style. Whether you doing bulkheads ,designs etc. In the Express classifieds you can see the ads and prices in the first section under construction/ ceilings . Randy's custom interiors do all my work and he's very professional and his prices are reasonable. 685 2949.
