My quick opinion, FWIW...
A #10 screw into the flange of a W24 seems like a difficult task with
the
thinnest flange thickness being 1/2". I would say the powder pins are
the
way to go.

Subject: Design preference for non-bearing wall connectors
I have a non-bearing metal stud wall that is to be attached to the
underside
of a W24. The detail was missed by the SE on the permit set and so I
sketched up a detail of a slip track with shot pins into the bottom
flange
to connect the track. The SE revised the detail to self drilling
screws,
claiming it was a "better" connection. (I'm not quite sure which
element
became "better"), but...nevertheless, it begs this question:
Is there any consensus here about whether either version is a "better"
or
"worse" version of this detail? Does the shot pin mess with the flange
integrity in any way that could be considered more deleterious than an
S-D
screw? (The exact detail was 6" metal stud x 18' high, GWB both sides.
I
guessed 145 shots @ 16"oc, his came back #10 SD screws at 8"oc.).
