Hi,

I would go for:
suid:
find / -perm u+s
sgid:
find / -perm g+s

PS a stickybit on a dir is not a security issue on a file it can be.

The 'sticky' bit is octal 1000 so,
cd /somedir
find . -perm -1000

You might want to restrict this to regular files, so:
find . -type f -perm -1000

If it ain't broke, I can fix that.
