My four year old designer home has both metal and wood studs. Criteria unknown, but it seems longer spans of wallboard get metal and areas needing more strength get wood.
Mount your TV wherever you want it.
If you center on a wood stud, perfect! If hollow wall or metal stud just drill through and use "Toggler Snaptoggle." Strongest and easiest I've ever used. Two sizes available locally at both Home Depot and Lowes.
