I have found a mixture of wood and metal studs. The metal ones are typically on outside walls, and tall walls, since these are straighter than wood studs. You will typically fine wood studs in the kitchen area to support the cabinetry.
I still use the small drill to get the exact center of the stud and also to confirm if it is metal or wood, the drill will stop for metal and continue in if it is wood.
