  I have access to a brad nailer and a crown stapler and
was wondering what people found most effective and to ahve the best long
term strength..

I believe the staples are over the 18 guage brads. The brad driver is easier
to use. The staple is tricky unless you have got a setup made for putting
together frames such as several bee supply houses sell.

Go slow at first and try to make each frame perfect as quite a bit of time
is lost pulling nails/staples sticking out the side of the frame. Speed will
come with skill. Put your frames together NOW. Not the day you need the
frames!
