I have a simple jig (in the pictures) so I could do either way.

I use a cut off place it in the hanger. Set the top of the joist. Hard nail one side to the ledger or box. Let the other side hang. When you set your joists you can easily slide the joist in push the loose side tight to the joist and set it. That's just me nothing wrong with hard nailing the whole thing. The only issue you may have is if a joists is full of water it will be tight going in. May need extra persuasion.
