Which CBU is Best for Shower and Why?

enduring

Hello, I have decided that I want someone else to do my drywall in my bathroom remodel instead of us. DH agrees. So I had the guy out from an outfit nearby. I will have them hang the CBU as well as the drywall. I told them I will tape the CBU with fiberglass tape and thinset. I forgot to ask which brand of CBU they use. In the shower I will use Hydroban over the CBU and tile to the ceiling but not including the ceiling. I have used Hardibacker in my other BR.

Questions:
1) Which CBU is best for the shower area?
2) Are there types that I absolutely don't want to have used?
3) What installation differences are there between the types of CBU?
