450mm would cause less vibration in the walls and give you better options later for hanging shelving

Isn't there a stud in every house?
If you are never in over your head how do you know how tall you are?

600 spacings, why use more wood than you need to. Fewer blueboard joins too, as you use 1200 sheets and not 900 sheets.
Vibration is not really an issue in a shed, if you were worried about noise then insulate and clad inside with plasterboard

Who likes doing it standing up or horizontal?

When buildings made with lime are subjected to small movements thay are more likely to develop many fine cracks than the individual large cracks which occur in stiffer cement-bound buildings. Water penetration can dissolve the 'free' lime and transport it. As the water evaporates, this lime is deposited and begins to heal the cracks. This process is called autogenous healing.

As Pulse has said its far more practical to set out your stud spacings to suit your cladding. Blue board needs to be supported and fixed at all joints, so 600mm works for the edge of each sheet. Spacings at 450mm may give you a little more stability, but these days its mainly used for lower storey load bearing walls etc. Six hundred mm centres is quite sufficient for a shed and I'm sure the trusses will be configured at 600mm centres as well. Be sure to work your first sheet correctly from the corners.
