What are the pros and cons of each? We will be using pneumatic
equpment. Which make/model of nailer/stapler do you recommend?
I am working with an experienced hardwood floor layer and will be
working on many new and old homes, he has only worked with a pneumatic
stapler.

Though timber floors are not my Forte in life, I thought you should not
nail timber flooring down ?
Am I wrong ?

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 can only tell you that nails - serrated cleats, actually - hold extremely
well...almost impossible to get out.

My experience with the Bostich staples is that they hold well. The wire is
fairly fine (16 ga?) allowing for extra fasteners to assist pulling in
bowed pieces without splitting the tongue off. FWIW, I used a deadblow
mallet with it.
