Default U brackets, nailing

Get yourself a palm nailer. You'll wonder how you ever lived without it.

Absolutely the best way to go. Just finished putting up a dozen joist
hangers with my palm nailer and it's like "Braaaappp!!" and they're
done. Get the Senco palm nailer if you can find one. It's a sweetheart
of a tool. You'll use it more than you think because it is more
controllable than swinging a framing hammer. Installing solid bridging
between joists is one good example where the hammer in a 14" space
seems to take forever and framing nailers can be too clumsy in
confined situations.
