A fastener only needs to do the job it's designed to do and/or support the load it's designed to support. For softer materials it "may" be appropriate to use a coarser pitch thread so you get more depth of tooth in the material, rather than a finer pitch at greater engagement. The only way of working that out correctly is to do the math or use a fastener analysis program. An example from such a program is shown here http://www.boltscience.com/pages/fastexam.htm Unless specified otherwise, standard drill/tap tables get used. Zeus tables are pretty much a workshop must over here.
