SWC is really the only way to go in Hawaii. Not only does it let the house breath, but SheetRock is just to create homes for ants, roaches and termites. If you can see them working you can treat the entire beam or stud or plate. I hate to think of what kinda motels are in some peoples walls around here. I spray the crap out of the bottom plate's every year. Sure it might not look as nice as a sheet rocked wall, but it sure stays cooler and you can monitor any type of bug activity.
You can get creative and build cabinets in the space between the studs. One day I might try this.
