Default nail or screw stair treads?

nail or screw stair treads?

The carpenter is building my basement stairs tomorrow, he is going to
nail, but which is better. Could he use a pocket hole jig underneath on
the stringers?

Just wondering...

I prefer using screws, just like on subflooring. Less chance of them
working loose and developing squeaks and creaks.
