My preference is HDG but Home Depot seems to only stock and sell electrogalvies in the 1 1/4" roofing nails.  How much effort should I put into getting HDG roofing nails?  This is for a roof on the Oregon coast.

I can't recall when I last saw a hot dipped roofing nail. Everything I see are elctrogalvanized. Unless you're nailing into PT lumber I don't think it should become a problem.    :-\
Just because something has been done and has not failed, doesn't mean it is good design.
