There are 6 or 8 spiral nails on our deck that will not stay down.
The boards are flat on the deck and do not appear to be cupped or
warped. But, within about 3 months of driving the nails down, they
are back up.

Should I pull the nails and replace them with the next size larger
spiral nail?

Should I pull the nails and replace them with coated deck screws?


You can get some long drywall screws.


They will rust in no time.
