I have dealt with one building manufacturer that allows (even recommends) a type of 'C' clamp that is offset a little and fits over the lip of the purlin and fastens in the middle of the bottom lip. The clamp is made by Erico but I can't remember the model number. I still prefer to hang to the middle (side) of the Z like Matt mentioned. It is by far the strongest point of connection.
