What are the pros and cons of each? We will be using pneumatic

The hot ones in my area are Porta-Nails and Bostich. I've seen guys
using staples or flooring nails. This is for hardwood strip flooring,
other types of floors require different methods.

I prefer bostich staples for their holding power, much more crown. Do
yourself a favor & get a powernail pnuematic face nailer for doing the
edges, trim nailers will not pull the floor down tight. If the $500.00 or
so is too much right away at least hand nail well with a decent finish nail
(making sure to set all nails). A good installation leads to a good sanding
& finishing.
