I guess it depends on who you talk to.
I have been using the ceramic coated screws with treated lumber.
Not sure the stainless ones are any better.
Actual hot dipped galvanized would be nice but harder to come by.
The gold anodized ones rust pretty quickly so I don't think I would use
them where they are exposed to the weather.

Funny you mention that. The builders place I go to for my stuff told
me that the "special" screws were no better than the regular
galvanized/coated deck screws with the new formulation of the treating
treatment stuff. They don't even carry the "special" screws.
Stainless steel if you must then, and be prepared to pay big dinero
for them.

And then you need to buy the right ones if you are using treated
lumber so that the chemical does not eat the screw.
