would you suggest 2" or bigger ring shanked underlayment nails? in
order to get down to the joists?

Let's see...3/4 ply + 3/4(?) strips = 1 1/2. Two inch would give 1/2" in
joists. I'd want another inch. For field nails (just into the existing
strips) 1 1/4.

Can't advise you re ring shanks, only used them decking my boat. Worked
fine. Mostly I use square drive screws, #8 & #10, for the general wood
hobby stuff I do now.

Dunno, don't see how it could hurt.
