Default Nails for door frame

I know, generally one would use framing nails either by hand or gun, but
what size nails are appropriate for an interior prehung door and frame? This
is a prefabbed 6 panel hung door you buy from Home Depot. Not solid core or
the 6 panel pine door. It's very light. Do you think 15 gauge finish nails
would do the trick?

Thanks


15 gauge finish nails are fine from a gun, but if you hand nail, you
could go a little larger. Do NOT use framing nails of any size. The
heads will be unsightly on the finished product.
