These are a little short for wood studs. They are usually 1 1/4". Also these are fine screws, whereas for wood studs, usually are coarse thread

These are good for mounting random thin stuff on the wall... Beyond that that they would be better for steel studs.

These are 100% for fastening drywall to metal studs. Don’t cheap out to save $20 on your project and use the wrong thread and wrong depth screws on your drywall to wood stud installation.

This!
That's how you end up with excessive nail pops in a few years and an overall shitty looking job that will cost A LOT more than $20 to fix.
