Default motherboard screws question

This might sound stupid, but does it matter what type of screw you use to mount the motherboard inside the case?

They should come with the case (if you buy it new) they're Phillips-head, 6-sided and have a fan-blade type look to them on the bottom of the screw head.

It doesn't really matter as long as the head isn't bigger than the designated area that the screw goes into (there's a little circle around the screw hole). Also, make sure that the screws thread into the standoffs smoothly and without requiring a lot of force.
