Beginning of the year we will start putting up half inch blue board (currently on hand) with the unspoken plans of doing plaster and leaving in some imperfections.  Last week my wife said something about using a clay biased plaster.

 

What other wall finishes has anyone used that they can recommend?

Structolite is the "base coat" or "brown coat" in the old fashioned two coat plaster system, where the top coat is lime plaster. One troweled coat of structolite followed (after letting the first coat dry) by another of the same will give you a finish resembling old plaster with lots of imperfections, but relatively flat.
