Pano Verses Wide Angle

I'm new to panos and I've been asked to capture the inside of a building. Is there a way to make all the lines in the pano architectually correct or do I have to go with a super wide angle lens instead. Is there a way that I can fix this picture so that the lines look straight verses curved? I'm working on an APS-C camera and don't have access to a full frame and so I thought I could cover the insides with a pano it seems that I can't do that and have architecturally sound images. By the way, I haven't cropped this image down yet nor fixed the dust spots.

The camera lens you use has no effect on the general appearance of the panorama. It will look the same whether you use a 10mm fisheye or a 50mm standard lens. For all straight line features to remain straight, you need to choose the rectilinear projection for your output. You then have to limit the output angle of view to around 100 degrees. Above this, the edges become increasingly stretched. As your panorama is about 150 degrees wide, you will need to crop it to get an acceptable view. This is a 90 degree view, for example:
