Default What length screw to use?

I'm attaching 2 x 4s to the studs in a finished garage. Finished with 1/2"
drywall. Are 3" screws long enough, I have a bunch leftover from a
different project? The 2 x 4s will be holding 5/8 plywood for shelves. Or,
should I just bite the bullet and go with 3 1/2?

Thanks
