Screws if you can afford enough. They grip alot better and don't come loose overtime like nails do.

screws hold better by fair..my dads is one of the largest homebuilders around, they use nails for holding studs in place but screws for ceramic floors... they also use screws for decking hold nice and tight

if you are in a hurry or tight for cash use the air nailer
it will last longer and be stronger with screws though
