For something cosmetic like a fence, I like to use Tapcon screws.
I presume the Titens are like these. *They're fast and hold well,
and you can drill through the wood instead of marking.

I too was suspicious of the Simpson Titens screws but they work & are
a good product.
Tapcons could also work.
Actually Tapcons & Titens suplly less splitting force on the base
material than a wedge product.
If the wall is ungrouted you could also use toggle bolt or a toggle
stud. If the wall is ungrouted you're only going to the block's face
thickness.
I recommend SIKA Anchor Fix #1 (gels in ~5 minutes, full strength in
less than 1 hour dispenses from standard caulking gun) threaded rod or
bolts with the heads ground down.
