They are both rigid and the short thread has enough thread to make it a good firm base. So why chose the short or long then? Its simple, some boats and classic cars have thin walls, so if you dont want a sharp point coming through the inside then use the short thread.

Although they are called self tap, you still need to drill a pilot hole and if fitting to gel coat I would advise on countersinking the hole because the gel coat could crack when tightening the stud. The self taping short and long thread studs would be the most common. I have quite a few types of studs with self taping threads, threaded studs and nuts and machine threaded studs. No hole is needed to be cut either, just two slits in the material so the two prongs can be inserted through the canvas and into the washer on the other side. The lift the dot 2 prong stud and clinch plate are used when you want to attach a piece of canvas to another piece of canvas. The prongs push through the canvas and into the plate on the other side where the prongs are then folded against the plate to hold in place. This allows for multiple layers of canvas. If your canvas / awning is slightly thicker than normal you can opted for the lift the dot socket and plate with longer prongs.

There are many types of studs also, again to entertain the thickness of material or the material they are being fixed too. The prongs on the socket come in two lengths to accommodate different thickness of material. This is always marked with a dot on the socket. Lift the dots are unique as they are locked on three sides and can only be opened by "lifting the dot" on one side. Due to their strength and durability they elevated onto the marine and automotive market. They then moved into the military industry used for keeping satchels bags closed and also gun holsters shut.
