Default Repairing Sagging Drywall in Ceiling
In article ,
(Mike Dobony) says...

Lots of screws? Professionally we do only 3 screws in the field of each
sheet on each rafter, with 1 nail on each edge of the drywall sheet on each
rafter. Nails/Screws go in every 6 inches or so on the butt joints.

12" O/C in the field is OK for screws, but not for nails. If you are
using nails, you have to go 7" O/C.
