Mike holmes like screws because it holds better and over time it will not "sag" but it has no shear strength and will just snap/break. Nails are strong but they have the advantage of having shear strength but they loosen up over time. Now adays you can use twisted nails to help with the holding power. All depends on the job and personal preference.ie high wind areas would u want just nails on your roof or screws?
