Zeno, I have a personal preference for Cherry. Easy to pull, and I get them for free from a local helicopter manufacturer!

I also love driving rivets! Fast, cheap, easy.

Just don't use the Home Depot ones for anything but temporary jig building.

Any of the blind rivets that retain the mandrel in the shear plane will do a good job for you. Do use something with a proper grip range for your job.
