Default hardwood flooring installation methods?

I will be installing some Australian Cypress 5/8" prefinished,
semi-engineered (planks are a 2 boards wide and 6' long lamination)
solid wood flooring in my kitchen in the near future. Hardwood is
typically nailed, but I understand that there are now glues available
suitable for this purpose.

Now, the questions.

Pros and cons of gluing vs nailing?

Altrenatives not mentioned above?

Any tips or tricks that y'all wish to share?

Should I buy a manual nailer or rent a pneumatic one (flooring will
cover about 200 sq ft)?

Thanx
