You might get better help using alt.home.repair for your question.

I would help but don't know the answer.

Depends on what you're screwing into and the thickness of the drywall.


For 2x4s and 3/8" drywall, I'd recommend about inch and a half screws.
For sheetmetal studs or thinner drywall, use shorter screws.
But it's mainly a matter of taste or familiarity.

Am a carpenter by trade but hang and tape drywall quite a bit.
On a commercial project or tract homes, these rules apply:
1 1/8 screws for 1/2" drywall
1 1/4 for 5/8" sheetrock which is used in carports
