In the past, I've always used particle board screws (coarse thread,
narrow shift, countersunk head nibbed on underside) for kitchen
cabinet case construction. *Recently, I've noticed that construction
screws are very similar - even identical - and more widely available.
Is there any significant difference between the two types that I am
missing?

Construction screws? *Are you talking about dry wall screws? *If so, use dry
wall screws for drywall, they are typically too lite of a gauge for
furniture and they are way too brittle.

Not drywall screws. Here's a link for construction screws:
