Consider the lengths of the runs:
More blocking every 4-6' (with hangers) on posts is not a bad thing when you are having 20 people over.
It's an extra pain.
Do it once.
Joist protection tape is a good idea.
Island mentioned using copper flashing and copper nails to shed the water.
(Copper-sulfate spray is also used for controlling mildew/mold in areas around gardening as well.)
Spend a little more on the right materials, and it will never be an issue to deal with again.
