11/2" or 2" number 8 or 10 countersunk - you can either use the old
steel slot-head screw or the new-fangled phillips or pozi-drive
twin-threads (my preference even though I'm an 'old timer').

Is there anyone in the world who prefers slotted screws?

Funnily enough, I do for many jobs where pozi drive et all would really look
out of place.

Remember though, no matter how you fix the damn things down, you'll
*ALWAYS* get a board that will squeak or groan after you've done the
damn job. :-)

If our boards aren't squeaking at the top of the stairs I know that
the kid is in bed, we aren't being burgled and the dog isn't sneaking
downstairs for a ****. Every home should have 'em.
