I just finished a massive deck project and went with these Hillman screws, in tan and red. I got them locally for $95 for a 25# box, which included a bit and 2 board spacers which ended up being quite useful. I needed 3 boxes. That's ~5400 screws, and used all but 300.

Maybe 15 screws were unusable due to too much coating deposited in the torx grooves. imo a good, low defect rate.

On the down side, the coating is thin paint and comes off to a degree with an insertion. Some people argue they should not be reused for this reason. I live in a crazy dry climate and am not too worried about corrosion, but be advised. There are more expensive styles with bonded coatings that should last in a rain forest.

These claim no pre-drilling required, and that's basically true-- they go in nicely. But pre-drilling near board ends is still required, as the shaft physically displaces wood to the point of splitting.

2.5" I would not use on 2x boards, but 5/4" deck boards only. If pressure treated lumber, cupping and warping are powerful and the extra shaft length is needed to combat that. Not only as the boards age, but as they're placed. Brute force board bending is a required during most of the install and shaft length is good to have.
My wife says 2.5 inches is fine.

In the product page title it says tan, then says white, so I checked and everywhere (including Lowe's) lists that same model number as tan.

I took a chance that they'll be tan. If they come in white I'll just send them back.

These or the 1-lb. deal from yesterday?
https://slickdeals.net/f/15483778-grip-rite-prime-guard-maxs62703-deck-screw-10-2-1-2-t25-stainless-1lb-10-98?v=1

I had placed an order for the grip-right stainless via the above deal, but it appears that I can still cancel the order and grab a 5lb. bucket of these for just a bit more. Which are better for indoor/outdoor projects?

Stainless is generally better overall, because there's no coating that can rub off while drilling, but these are slightly stronger and pretty darn good IMO. The comments in that stainless thread cover some of the pros and cons quite well.

Do you not have an issue with 3"+ screws punching all the way through when attaching 2X to 2X, or do you slightly angle your screws? I use longer when attaching 2X to 4X or larger, but can go either way on 2X to 2X.
