You won't be able to use the staples for top or hand nailing as they'll bend on you. Furthermore a nail set doesn't work well with counter sinking staples if you fail to drive the staple in far enough when side nailing/stapling.
Since you are going over 3/4 inch OSB, it would be a good idea to lay the flooring perpendicular to the floor joists to get better strength. If laid inline with the joists, you may experience some movement when walked on.
Thank you very much for the excellent advice. Was wondering if, in your opinion, the staples hold as well as the more traditional nails/cleats without splitting the wood. Also, is it tougher to hand nail the staples in the first few courses of wood strip than more traditional nails?
