ball screw vs lead crew

Hi,
I have few questions to ask the group for help. Why do we only use ball screws for X and Y axis and for Z we use lead screw? Are there ways that we can use ball screws for all three axis? I have read many threads at Cnczone.com on this subject but I still need help. Could some one help me? Thanks
