I would posit that a 2 x 8 from 40+ years ago is stronger than the "whitewood" 2 x 10s of today.
I advocate screws for framing rather than nails. No squeaks, no pulls, no pops. The added quality is well worth the added cost.
I agree on the concrete problems, but add that those increase with temperature extremes. I,too, prefer pavers.
I have seen too manyof these "flipped" houses and many of them are just lipstick on a pig.
