two layers of 3/8 or 1/4 drywall will work fine...I really cant see using masonite unless you want a cheesy wall.
Couple of layers of thin drywall will curve easily...do yourelf a favor...wet down the drywall with a sponge...not soaking wet, just nice and damp so the paper stays dark...it's gonna absorb quite a bit at first but it should stay damp.
Let it sit for a bit and test it's temperment. You should be able to install it easily as long as your radius isn't to extreme. Drywall can handle more than you think. You should NOT have to score the d-wall for this...for the thin stuff I would avoid scoring as much as possible.
Either way...Mudding your masonite (not a great thing) or mudding your drywall..you're gonna make a mess...
mud the drywall because the seams are already tapered and the bond will be btter, it's made for mud...Drywall's the way to go here, a mess is a mess, you might as well use the proper material for the job.
The suggestion for a plaster wall good in heart but plastering properly is an art and you have to really want to do this...I love plaster.
