To attach 2x4s and 2x6 lumber, 16 penny 3" length are very common. 8# and 10# nails are also used with various configurations. Structural screws are much more expensive but are used more in recent years.
ANS 2 - Virtually every builder/framer now uses airnailers and the common size is a strip of 28 degree angled 3 " nails. - I haven't seen anyone use a '16 penny nail' in almost 15 years !
