I put Earl's screws on the Miata a few weeks ago. They seemed to work ok as far as bleeding out air goes; the problem I had is that they puked fluid around the threads with each pump of the pedal, because - wait for it - there is no sealant on the threads. So I had a mess on the ground under each caliper when I was done. I think the next time I do a bleed I'm going to pull each screw and paste on some thread sealant to try and mitigate the problem.
