I can make a recommendation after putting in several decks with treated decking at different times of the year. If you can put down exposed decking in the winter, the wood will have time to dry out slowly and is much less inclined to crack, cup, or warp. Decking I've installed in the summer always cracks, and cups very quickly. The wood just bakes in the sun and ruins. BTW, I've had good success with nail-gunned ring shank galvanized nails.
