went to local home depot in Sacramento

this duratemp is 27.98 which is a plywood and I think I like the look. of the narrower. planks

but the LP smart siding is 32.98 which is an OSB

Do you think one is ply is better than osb?
they're both 3/8". which is probably fine for holding hand tools and such with a screw

there is a cheaper T1-11 Brown engineered primed 8 thats .43"  thick for $21 but it looks much rougher for the dust, probably need more primer to paint it up too

and the.59" version is $39
 
I think I paid like 1.15/sqft for standard/common pine tounge and groove picked up. KYlumber.com
 
When we were building our new house we decided to a stand alone shop in order not to have to deal with the POA at a later date.  So we built a 30' x 32' x 12' brick building finished on the outside but just a shell on the inside. 
When I was doing the finish work we thought about using 3/4" plywood but decided to go with sheetrock instead as I really don't  like hanging tools on the walls (except for clamps). For flooring we went with vinyl flooring as it is easier to keep clean and easier on the feet.

hey guys, going to insulate my 28x22’ garage shop soon and was planning on drywalling it. but then started thinking about it, having plywood would be better as you can screw stuff to it anywhere.  I also do a lot of photos / videos in the shop so want it to look good. Do you guys have any good options for interior siding? Was thinking about T1-11 painted white, anyone have photos of this?

If you like this look, then why don't you buy a 1x10 or 1x12 board and half lap the joints.  You could then customize the spacing, profile and paint it whatever colour you like? You could even start with a 2/4 plywood and rip it into strips if that is what you have to work with.
A good video on what I am talking about:
Of course you'll have to either block the walls or strap them.
Something like this: https://www.lowes.com/pd/5-375-in-x...all-Plank-Coverage-Area-3-58-sq-ft/1000422301

Here's a good video if you want to use full sheets: 
 
Drywall and good insulation. Nice white walls. Stick some French cleats to hang tools. OSB or plywood on a corner or a wall if you want to add shear value to the framing if needed.
 
Given the choice I'd  go for 3/4" ply with drywall over it.
Strength of plywood and fireproofing and generally better look with drywall.

 
I have a oversized 3 car garage with 3 cars in it so most of my big machines are all on roll around. For the walls we used fiberboard and the FRP panels.  They are just about indestructible and if they get dirty we just hit them with some Simple green and it is clean as new. You can beat the stuff with a hammer and you can’t see where you hit it.  We used a light ivory color and the stiple finish really made it come out nice. It gets a lot of compliments and is really durable.
