Mesh is used for holes/cracks in drywall. Tape is not only more affordable but easier to use and seamless.

Mesh is faster. Just needs two coats. Paper needs three coats. I always wonder why they don’t make sticky paper tape so you only need two coats

Crack tape is best. It's flexible so it can move a little and not crack. Plus it installs easily.

I was looking for tape or adhesive that can hang curtains to the dry wall. Does this or any other type you know of will attach strongly to fabric cotton and then adhere to dry wall?

Drywall tape is just a roll of narrow paper. No adhesive at all.
