4" nails everytime for me.
Never seen studding assembled with screws ever (not saying that you cant) and I have worked on the sites of some very prestigious companies with excellent reputations.
A good link though Bespoke0 -
Don't know if that was a veiled dig at me but i have been a joiner for 30 yrs and never used screws for studding,overkill in my opinion and that of all my college tutors.Having said that,screws will do the job.0
