nail gun is a lot faster. But i use both depending on what i run into. Sometimes a nail wont close a gap, which is where screws come in

i use a brad nailer. the screws basically hold the pieces in place for the glue to dry

If you make straight cuts, you wont need to close a gap

I use a brad nailer, quick and easy.

I've used both. A nail gun is quicker though.
