Can't say I've ever nailed a shingle to particle board. Butt, on cdx
plywood I use a bostich narrow crown stapler. For outdoor projects, make
sure to use stainless staples.

Use SS for sure. Also, be certain to get the ones that are made to face
east - it's really hard to nail/staple from the inside - out!
