- nail or screw ?
what are the pluses and minuses of each?

Plan to paint it, so would that make the screws unscrewable?

PZ2 or another kind of head?

advice and experiences please

George


Nails: quick, easy, superquick supereasy with a nailgun. But creaking can occur & occasionally lifting.
Screws: no creaks, but slower & large heads.

Paint doesn't prevent unscrewing.
