My current favourite is this one. It's like cartridge paper, the joints work so well and there's no pre-shrink to worry about. It's nice but pricey. They have a professional range which is cheaper.

You could paint the whole thing with Gardz before papering or painting that gives you a good chance of getting everything stuck to the wall as hallways are notorious for grease and wax e.g. from handbags ladies!
Dulux Trade Diamond Matt is a tough washable paint. It's got a slightly plasticky finish especially when it's fresh but it's properly washable and doesn't fade as fast so you can touch it up.

Interesting you say this, the plaster in the place I've moved into marks really easily, not helped by pale and not particularly hard wearing paint.
I was thinking that just harder wearing paint would mainly solve it, lining it hadn't occurred to me. Is is standard lining paper you'd use or something else? Cheers
