I walked down the screw isle and was overwhelmed. Holy crap there are about a gazillion options!

I have a 25lbs bucket of drywall screws that I was planning to use. They suck and I shouldn't use them, plus there are only 1 5/8" long. Do you have a recommended screw? Lowe's preferably since it is likely where I'm going to buy my supplies from.

For the adhesive between the joists and plywood, do you have a preferred brand? I used Loctite PL Premium for the dance floor and it seems fine. I guess what I'm really wondering is am I after silicone adhesive to soften the contact or adhesive to bond it?

Edit: BTW, this is the flooring it is covering. I know I'm likely to have a little challenge where the slate isn't level. That lack of smooth level is one of the reasons I want to raise my floor and replace the existing flooring. I'm just going to build right over the top of this flooring.
