The only reason I would use nails is if I was going to use an air nailer for speed.
Nails are also better for sheer strength- and screws are better for not pulling out when pressure is applied. Seeing as you don't need the strength of the nails, but do need the strength the other way- screws win again.
Plus there have been times when we've wanted to remove a section of fence; like to get a Bobcat into the yard for landscaping. So much easier if you know you can take a section down and then put it back up when you are done.
