If we are speaking of only one fastner, then the bolt,especially if used with washers are far the best. It depends on how the boards are oriented. If you're trying to strengthen two planks (flat side to flat side) and you have the room (after they're installed) then bolts, washers, lock washers, & nuts are the best. Screws set in at angle will hold better than nails. If this is a permenant application, you can use liquid nails, but it really isn't necessary.
