A ledger board at top is pretty standard. Joist hangers to the ledger

OK, I like the idea of a ledger board. What's the best way to attach
the stringers to it, joist hangers, angle brackets, or toe nail? And
to attach the ledger board to the wall? This link says wedge anchors:

The bottom of the stair stringers are usually notched to fit around a
perpendicular 2x4 cleat bolted to the concrete floor.

This obviously puts the bottom of the stringer against the concrete.
What about using a sleeper with the bottom of the stringer resting on
top of it the full width? Then again joist hangers, angle brackets or
toe nails. Wedge anchors to hold down the sleeper?

Thanks again,
