Assuming no counterbore and space is not a problem, how do you
choose between hex head and hex socket head ?

I've noticed that hex head screws are commonly available up to
property class 8.8 while hex socket head screws go up to 12.9.
Why is that ?

Socket head screws are higher tech, and look more impressive. All the
racers will think better of you if you use socket head screws _everywhere_.

But you'll have to get some wrenches, 'cause vice-grips don't work as
well on socket-head screws.
