Not so knowledgeable about wood flooring, better with tile and stone.....That said, I would think that nailing would be the way to go as long as you are over a wood subfloor. The type of nail will be very important as will stocking the wood in the area it will be used for a couple of weeks to allow it to become more stable to the temp and humidity present in your home. You'll have to sand everything down and refinish afterward which will be a bigger job than sticking it down. Remember that baseboard is your friend...

Let me know when you're ready to do tile (have 25yrs commercial experience)and I can offer advice regarding appropriate installation materials and methods based on your application.
