Those are all reasons why I chose this design too!
As for the drywall screws . . . Spira has put together a pretty in-depth ply-on-frame manual you can download for free from his site, or I could send you a copy. (He sent me one that may be newer than the one on the site.) In it, he discusses several different types of fastener and says you can use whatever you want, but that the real strength of the joints comes from the epoxy and that you could theoretically remove the fasteners completely once the epoxy has cured. After all, isn't that how stitch & glue works?
