Default Will drywall hold

I would use plastic wall anchors, I know they're not all that
strong but the loads in your situation are pretty low.


Personally, I find most plastic wall anchors are made of cheap
slippery plastic and easily slide out of drywall. Anchors that
spread the load behind the drywall, I find best for taking weight.


You and just about everyone else. Specifically, molly bolts, not
toggle bolts. A couple of those should easily hold your shelf with a
50# load.
