Plastic panels hold up best in ceilings for that they're lightweight so no sagging issues, and UV-stabilized ones won't yellow or discolor. Avoid cheap thin plastics; go for heavy-duty. They install flush and can be painted to match perfectly. A popular pick is this durable plastic access door https://www.amazon.com/Access-Panel-Drywall-Plumbing-Durable/dp/B085617TBL?tag=contractorhub-20 in 12x12 or other sizes it's made to handle plumbing and electrical access, with a push-to-open mechanism and strong hinge. Water-repellent too, so good for any potential leaks. Makes maintenance way easier without messing up your ceiling finish.
