Any special reason? I understand that galv is safe with them as well

I don't even _know_ the alloy, but they are guaranteed "non-staining" in
those woods. Anything else, including galvanized, makes dark, ugly stains
in the wood.

And with the added bonus that the current PT wood will eat just about

strip a 1 year old deck down and install all new fasteners because they
were failing real fast. The BIL who built the deck figured he was saving
money by using coated deck screws, even after being warned by 3
different people about the new PT chemicals.
