Out this way in California, most of the lumber is Douglas fir. Hem fir is often sold as cut to length studs, but everybody knows they're using the cheap stuff, by price if nothing else.
I can't remember hem fir as being sold for anything other than studs. But, it's been a long while since I've done any building. And, low cost seems to win out eventually.
