Best Drywall Texture for Rental

[Thomas Garza]

My wife and I are 60% done with a full remodel on our second rental property. Most of the Sheetrock has been hung, and the contractor is starting to prepare for tape, float, and texture. I am trying to determine if one style of texture is better than another. The things I am evaluating it on are:

1) Durability

2) Ability to hide small tenant damage (nail holes, small dents, ...)

3) Visual appeal

Any feedback would be appreciated.
