I’m currently in the middle of re-building the kitchen in my house. It’s almost time to pain, but I’d like to texture the walls away from the pep areas. I have a texture gun and have successfully used splatter texture in a bedroom. Anyone have any good hints on orange peel of knock-down? What are the pros and cons of each?

That's how kitchens always go, pain and pep - you said it Luther (PS sorry I like smooth walls).
*Definately. For kitch pain, smoot(h) wals.
*Luther, I believe that the main drawback to textured kitchen walls is the accumulation of cooking grease and/or smoke, or any stains/splatters for that matter, and the difficulty in cleaning the rough surface. Even when not in close proximity to the prep areas, IMHO. My vote goes for smooth walls, too.
*If you have young children, they will become textured anyway.
