At this point, I think we have around 4000 nails... so.. yeah. Scavenging is the way to go for a lot of resources.
I'd say a few select items are easier getting through Scavenge. One being nails, screws and bolts. But larger objects such as plates are easier found through sorting.
Edit: I should say that I find the droprates sufficient.

Agreed, plenty of plates and such through sorting really, at least in my experience. It's the smaller items as you mentioned that you need a lot of, and can be found by a good scavenger. Which is cool and makes sense, there's a nice balance there for each skill.
