The 1" Long Black Torx Wall Liner Screw # WLS100 is the best option for the plywood installation. These screws are fine thread and made for metal studs. They have a tapping edge but often a starter or pilot hole should be drilled. You can then use the Torx Head Screwdriver Bit for WLS100 Wall Liner Screw # TX425 to snug the head flush.
