I am installing Marvin Integrity nailer flange windows and my wood buck is behind the foam so I need a 3.5"-4" screw or nail. But I am not big on nails for this application. For a screw I want a flat back-of-the-head. I think a cabinet screw or wafer head. What have ya'll used? I found this.http://www.mcfeelys.com/product/0840-PHW/FastCap-10-x-4quot-PowerHead-Cabinet-Screws

That screw looks ideal to me. I never want a framer to install windows for me again with nails. Too hard to reset a window when it has been installed with nails.
