Framing nails: ring shank .120 vs smooth shank .131?
You'll want to review the nailing schedule of the code that applies where ever you may be.  The one at the bottom of this post is pretty standard.  Here's a link to California's 2016 UBC nailing schedule.  (California requirements may be greater due to seismic requirements.)  Note that there's not one single nail specified for all wall framing; there are different nails required for different attachments.  

"Upgrading" the required fastener isn't necessarily a good thing.  For example do you think it would be good to use 8" spikes made for joining landscape timbers where 16d - 10d nails are required?  No, that would be crazy - you'd split the wood to bits and have nails sticking into the next room and etc.  

Sure ring shank and spiral shank nails are harder to pull out, they're great for decking and siding.  But the upgrade isn't necessary for wall framing - walls built by the standard method hold up great.  By substituting ring shank or spiral shank nails you may have unintended negative consequences - more subtle than using landscape spikes but still problems.  

As a general recommendation, wait until you have a done a fair number of jobs following all applicable codes and standards to the letter before you try to improve on the standards.  Even then, think very hard before getting creative.  The code / standard methods are with very few exceptions tried and true, and actually a bit overbuilt to give you some margin of error.  You're second guessing all the people that put them together over the years when you deviate from them.
