Pre-drilling and countersinking when fixing hardwood boards to hardwood joists (or even softwood joists) is essential to ensure a smooth installation. Stainless steel is a softer metal and will more easily snap or heads will burr when encountering too much friction and resistance. A tool such as the SMART-BIT for pre-drilling and countersinking in one action will assist you to install the screws and also leave a nice clean finish.
