if its possible to think that far ahead, save the money on plywood and build headers where you want to hang things. get a 2x12 and a piece of 1/2 inch osb to put in between them. cut them to the size betwen the studs, should be 14 1/2 inches, and nail them into the sides of the studs. now you have a rock solid backer that will hold anything you want to hang. been using this method for cabinets for years.
cut out that piece of drywall, then square it up. cut a new piece to the same size. cut a 1x4 8 inches longer than the width, or top to bottom. screw these pieces in place. then screw the new drywall to the 1x4's. no taping necessary.
sorry to see that happen Fin.
