Flood Damage

My friends house had 2.5 ft of flood water in for 2-3 days. We are preparing to do demo to rehab and I have never worked with lath and plaster. How do I go about removal ,am assuming I can cut out to about 3 ft level and replace. Do I replace with lath and plaster or can drywall be used and the joint taped and mudded with regular drywall mud? (house currently has wainscot up to approx 4 ft, I don't know if it will be replaced or not). Or should we remove all the way to the ceiling and replace with drywall? Thanks for any information
