only time using vinyl is for arches . i prefer metal it's easier to put up and can coat it same day. paper is like doing 4 coats unless use a hopper but still need compound to adhere it to the wall and its more expensive . some plus to the paper bead good along shower it doesn't take as much mud to fill them but very hard to cut the edge after coating them. I'll use metal corner bead any day unless was steel stud or area where might not be wood to attach. not necessary to mesh the edges that waste of time just mud it in with thick green usg be fine use enough nails like you said 12-16"
Yeah I quit the metal bead over 20 years ago. I used the Trim-Tex Jumbo for many years, but a few years ago I got one of those Auto Pro tools for the No-Coat and now I mostly use the paper faced in the video. I shot this video mostly to explain how each beat is attached though.
