Hi Folks, I'm looking for the best way to attach 2X4 studs to a cement
basement wall. I plan on painting the wall with a moisture barrier paint
(DRYLOCK) then installing the studs, Ridged foam insulation between then a
vapor barrier, then drywall.


I offer this alternate, FWIW.
It won't be to everyone's taste:

I Drylocked the block wall,
then glued rigid foam to block wall,
then glued drywall to the foam.

Absolutely rigid. You can run into the wall
head first and not damage the drywall!
No gaps in the insulation and no fasteners
to break up the block.

You *do* need to give attention to installing
utilities behind the wall though.
