basement partition walls

I am re-finishing the basement a previous HO started, and am removing the wood paneling and installing moisture resistant drywall instead. I have some partition walls separating the living space from the basement space and was wondering if I should use moisture resistant drywall on that too or if i am ok just using normal rock? Basement is mostly water-tight but there is a little moisture here and there (working on remediating that too). I just don't want to regret anything down the road, but don't want to spend money unnecessarily if I can avoid it (which is why I'm doing the work myself).

Also, would you insulate the wall too? Foam board cut into the spaces or bats?

Thanks.

Just use regular drywall and hold it 1/2" off the slab.
