OK, if you are hanging something small (lightweight) you can use hooks and sheet metal screws, however if you are hanging anything with some weight, then the toggle type holders made specifically for steel studs is what you want. If you only need 1 or 2 or so give me a PM so we can talk over the phone. I broke one on a project, and Lowe's only had these in quantities of 1 dozen, so I have several left over.
