General rule of thumb is: All metal lock nuts in engine compartment. Elastic lock nuts on all other bolts where castellated are not used. Castellated must be used on any bolt that pivots or holds a pivoting component such as bellcranks, push tubes, cable shackles, etc... Always use AN hardware. Tony Bingelis' construction books cover all of these. The three books of his I high recommend are; Firewall Forward; Sportplane Construction Techniques; and The Sportplane builder. EAA sell these as a package deal.
