There are several ways to look at it but you can never go wrong using the 101 spline screws, maybe the $4ea price is worth the insurance against bolt breakage and I have heard that some builders use the spline bolts more than once and have not had a problem.

It is kind of funny, back in the day my dad and I re-used the rod bolts over and over and never had one break. We just didn't know any better. Maybe we were lucky.
