Ideally you shouldn't really have any screws on the inside of your enclosure at all, except possibly those for your lighting. You're technically supposed to use galvanized screws for jointery and stainless steel for exposed elements. You're also supposed to use square heads for sheer durability.

Regardless, you should be sealing everything within the enclosure anyway, as an exposed head means exposed wood which leads to wood rot, rust, and compromised structure.
