Default holding power of metal vs wood studs

I'm mounting some shelving (channel and bracket) into a wall with metal
studs, which I've never done before.

what is the difference in holding power of metal vs wood studs? are
different screws recommended? or should I use toggle bolts in the drywall?

tia,

jc
