Putting up panel board with brads?

[Qewla]

Hello!

I am planning to install a wainscoting using 6mm panel board from Moelven. The walls where it will be installed have both drywall and OSB.

According to instructions, installation can/should be done as follows:

Installation on wood-based walls
Nails: Electrically galvanized nails 1.7 x 35 mm with flat nail head
Screws: Construction screws 4.2 x 35 mm
Staples: Staples with a straight, flat back
(back width 10.5–11.5 mm.
At least 25 mm long legs)

I am wondering if it would be possible to use brads instead?

A dyckert risks sinking into the material during movements as it has such a small nail head.
The thickness you are going to nail is only 2-3mm so it's not a good idea.

I have mounted such panels with drywall screws with good results.

Glue with setting adhesive and shoot with brad nails.

Thanks for the response, I'm leaning towards securing it with screws. It will be in a room that will probably be renovated in the future, which is why I don't want to use glue.
