Is the traditional cut clasp nail still best for chipboard flooring
sheets, or would a ring nail be better?

Nails easily work loose.

Ring barb nails don't. I built a pair of gates (2m x 3m) over 20 years ago
using bronze ring barb nails and they still look good for at least as long
again. However, by the same token, you shouldn't use ring barb nails if you
have any expectation of ever needing to remove them again.
