Getting quality likely the biggest problem, I normally go to timber merchants and pick the ones that are decent, or reject the ones which aren't.
Galvanised nails to fix, 3"+ length.
Last price I had about £1.10 metre.

Nail gun if you are on a price for somebody else, nails for yourself I'd say.
They do not nip the boards back to the cladding rails as tightly, but it is true, you can fire them on in a hurry.
