What screws to use on a fence?

Hi all,

What screws would you use on a fence? Its definitely No4 x 40mm i need. But unsure of which screws (I want to use screws and not nails). Its the screws that screw in the slats to the rail...

So which is best to use bearing in mind i need 600 odd of them lol

Cheers

Paslode Pro screws are good for outdoor use (torx drive)...£13 or so per 500 from Toolstation.
Or, you could go stainless.
Personally I find some decking screws, which you think would be ideal, simply rust as normal
