Use coarse thread deck screws for temporary structures
such as mockups.

Huh? If it is just a mockup, why not use the cheapest coarse thread screw
available? It's just going to be torn down again very quickly.


Use S/S, coarse thread self tapping sheet metal screws for
fiberglass assemblies and furniture applications.

Huh - again. For furniture applications?


Since only a few sizes are req'd, buying 100 pc boxes is not
a problem and helps keep costs in line.

Agreed.


Fine thread dry wall screws stay on the shelf at Home depot.


Really agreed!

Not really. When I used steel studs for some construction, I used the
self drilling fine threads for the steel. That's what they are meant for
Steel studs and not wood.
