How to Save Money When Buying Fiberglass Mesh Drywall Tape

Ok last drywall question. I have bamboo flooring that's like 3/4" thick. But I will probably put in vinyl plank floors later, which might either go on top the bamboo (making it 3/8" taller still) or replace it (making it 3/8 lower). My wall is built onto the subfloor now. So there's hardly any baseplate showing above the bamboo to screw the drywall to, since the baseplate is sunk 3/4 deep.

Should I:

1. Cut out the bamboo and slide drywall down to 1/2" above subfloor (thus 1/4" BELOW the level of the current bamboo floor) so I can screw it to the wall baseplate

2. Leave a 1/4-1/2" gap between the bottom of the drywall and level of the bamboo floor. This will put the drywall barely overlapping the bottom plate of the wall. I won't be able to screw it between studs unless I add blocking. If I add floor on top of the bamboo later, it will be fine. If I change to thinner flooring later, there will be a retarded big gap, but the baseboard will cover it anyway.

I'm leaning towards #2.

FIBERGLASS TAPE: This is a highly adhesive and strong tape. It will not come loose from drywall. It is very thin and great for small wall repairs or cracks. It will be difficult to tear this tape when sanding as I have done in the past.

Although it states that it is a mesh tape, I would not consider it as a mesh. I expected it to have some sort of grid marks for the joint compound to adhere to. However, the tape is smooth and glossy on the outside. It looks much like a quality strapping tape for sealing boxes. So, it could be used for that purpose also. All things considered, I rate it as a 4 since it is so strong and very adhesive and will ultimately get the job done.
