that had stood for decades and the rusted  bolts were still secure.

A lot depends on where the tower is located.  In FL the bolts rust  within a 
few years.  For the average guy with a 30-40 footer the shear  factor isn't 
much of a problem.  I recommend stainless threaded, with a  preference for fine 
threads.
