anyone have opinions on using screws or nails for flooring? by flooring i mean the sheeting directly on the joists. iv heard that the constuction adhesive does all the work and that coated nails are fine. some say ring shank nails, and some swear by screws. any advice or opinions are appreciated.
thanks,
john

Construction adhesive and 8D ring shank nails for 3/4" subfloor. Preferably with a pneumatic nailer and a compressor.
