I am going to buy some screws to fasten the studs together.

Looking in the Biltema catalog, I see hardened wood screw 5x90mm 75 spänn
On the other page, I find outdoor wood screws, these have a left-hand thread at the top which I assume is to prevent the screw from loosening over time? Prices are exactly the same, and it doesn't seem to be hardened. Is there any reason to choose the hardened one over the left-threaded one?
As a layman, I think the hardened electro-galvanized wood screw looks nice :)
 
The elförsinkade is for indoor use and the galvanized for outdoor use. A härdad screw is stiffer than a non-härdad one that flexes more.
 
Yeah, I'm with you so far. The screws will be indoors so it doesn't matter. You could say it's between hardened or with "vänstergänga". If the stiffness isn't needed, I don't see any reason to buy that one?
