You must first decide what sizes the various tenons will be. For example, butt tenon .750, 'A' joint tenon .625, ferrule tenon 5/16-18 etc. or whatever you choose to use. Then you can look for the appropriate taps and dies that match your requirements. Finer thread pitches seem to work best for me but I'm sure others have success using coarse pitched threads, I just don't get the results I want or expect with them. To make a really close tolerance blind tap you will probably need two taps of each size, one a 'starter' tap and the other a 'bottoming' tap. A 'starter tap just leaves to big a void at the end of the hole.

Hope this helps.
