Staples or Nails for Siding Trim?

I'm eyeballing an 18ga stapler from harbor freight and was wondering if this would be good for fastening trim to t111 siding or if I should just stick to nailing it? 8" belly band trim as well?

Air finish nailer is the way to go. I think I would go 16ga over 18.

Thanks Greg, I think you're right. I went into HF today and passed when I saw those little 18ga staples.
