Stainless is nice, but expensive. There is little to no difference [deckwise.com] between 304 and the OP 305 SS, whereas the best available would probably be the 316 SS used for Marine application. The Type 17 point, like the OP is the most common to not 'normally' have to pre-drill.
That said, most residential applications can get by with epoxy coated deck screws. For those, the deal from Lowes for 1,000 -10 x 2-1/2" [lowes.com] and the 800 -10 x 3" [lowes.com], both Type 17 point, delivered for $29.98 are hard to beat.

Most people accumulate a variety by left over types from various projects over time. You could buy a variety and still not have the right size and type you need for a specific project, but if I had to choose one type to have, it would probably be cheap drywall screws for wood in various lengths that work for a lot of projects. High carbon, they are super hard, but with that carbon content, they also rust if exposed outside.
The combination of hardness, bugle head, and thread pitch when used with an impact is a driver bit killer in anything but "soft" landing drywall and generally just sucks
I'll pay the extra over drywall screws and use deck screws or my personal favorite available for a good price at HD is SPAX "MDF and Hardwood" construction screws for general purpose.

Spax and others are fine, but often enough, #10 is too big and having various lengths can get expensive for someone that may or may not need them, or just needs one or two. I don't know how many times I have used a couple #8 drywall screws when I did not have exactly what I needed. I can always swap out for a larger screw, but the answer was to a question of what to have around the house that does not break the bank. 1lb boxes of various length drywall screws are chump change and readily available everywhere; even Walmart. HD is 65 miles for me, but we typically buy what we use in bulk from a wholesale house.
I have no problem with the issues you seem to have with driving drywall screws, but we don't use box store bits. We buy made in the USA Apex bits in bags of 100 for each size/length used ---that are far superior to any of the box store DeWalt, Milwaukee, Makita, etc., or often worse, the Ryobi, Hitachi, etc. While the Apex are getting more difficult to find at a reasonable cost, some Drill Hog bits were just delivered and curious if they are any good, let alone their lifetime warranty. But yea, use a little wax.
=================
Meanwhile, the left overs from projects create an 'accumulation' of variety that have saved me many times. I have 5 gallon buckets of various screws, bolts, anchors, etc., from several decades of commercial and residential projects that I do sometimes dump out on the floor to find a specific item that will work. A habit I picked up from my Father and Grandfather, I also have their collected accumulation that has some cool stuff like brass and even copper screws and anchors. Just a common commercial door closer, hinge/pivot set, panic bar, etc., will come with various options like machine or wood screws that you do not need for that project and they go into the 'junk' buckets. I am not itemizing everything into baby jars or whatever for less than a handful each of hundreds of different types.
Although it is an epoxy, I should have stated ceramic coated for the linked Lowes that is better than electroplated zinc or electroplated galvanized for longevity with most woods.
But yes, from the aged decks we have encountered, I would have to agree with your statement for the typical deck builds. As most things, one can build better, but the material and labor costs are typically cost prohibitive for most.
