Any persistent lubrication. "Copper slip" graphite grease, whatever. Stainless is not ideal in an outside situation where dirt can over time get into the threads, that then result in the metal "galling" (partial seizing/self welding) when you try to move it.
Regular BZP or Galvanised types would be stronger and last longer with less chance of seizing up, but I'd also use "Copper Slip" or a smear of graphite loaded grease on them too. Even plain un-plated steel types will last OK with such pre-treatment and annual maintenance treatment. 73.
